Copy

Famous quotes containing the word copy:

“The men are magnificent—the young men tall, well formed, and admirably dressed; the old men positively beautiful, with their fresh complexions, white hair, and admirable neatness.

—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)

“An original artist is unable to copy. So he has only to copy in order to be original.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)

“Each reader discovers for himself that, with respect to the simpler features of nature, succeeding poets have done little else than copy his similes.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
