"Originality cannot be a goal. It is simply inevitable.
The truly path-breaking step can never be predicted,
and certainly not by the person who makes it at the
time he makes it. He clears as he goes, evolves his
own techniques, devises his own tools, ignores where
he must. And his path cannot be retraced, because
each of us is an original being."
