"In the last quarter of the twentieth century, at a time when Western civilization was declining too rapidly for comfort and yet too slowly to be very exciting, much of the world sat on the edge of an increasingly expensive theater seat, waiting – with various combinations of dread, hope, and ennui – for something momentous to occur."

Pure Originality
Nothing we will ever do in our lives is formed out of complete originality. From birth we are taught things that have been taught before. Society's very existence depends on duplications of language and belief. It is our own ignorance that makes us think we are original.
However, I would say that we do not "steal" original thoughts because we mean to be vindictive or claim other's ideas as our own. In a way it isn't our fault, but yet also entirely our fault.
Pure originality is the inability to pinpoint the particular sources from which something was created.

Street-Side Mercantile
On the street today there sat the abandoned remains of Hemingway. He lay, self-contained in the modern revival of his ink to parchment. I thought it funny to come across his words when there was not a cloud in the sky. I only hope I can sneak Hemingway to his new library before he notices because I have yet to purchase an umbrella in this fair city.
