The spider draws it web from its belly - that is not how we get our ideas

I quote others only in order the better to express myself.
Michel de Montaigne

The next time you feel  you are being original question the origins of your supposed originality. If your idea was truly original we would
have nothing to compare it to.

The spider draws it web from its belly - that is not how we get our ideas. We get our ideas from other people, we annexe, appropriate the ideas of others.
