Lord Snow says that every man may be permitted his own clichs. But this is not enough. He must invent his own clichs and then persist in them until, if other people use them, their source is instantly recognizable. Thus plagiarism shall be turned into homage. Quentin Crisp
When some people say, as they do, that when we preach faith alone good works are forbidden, it is as if I were to say to a sick man, “If you had health you would have the full use of all your limbs, but without health the works of all your limbs are nothing,” and from this he wanted to infer that I had forbidden the works of his limbs.
