"Unquestionably," said he, as he walked along the solitary lanes, "unquestionably I begin the world as poets begin poetry, an imitator and a plagiarist. I am imitating an itinerant verse-maker, as, no doubt, he began by imitating some other maker of verse. But if there be anything in me, it will work itself out in original form. And, after all, the verse-maker is not the inventor of ideas.
The man without religion is a dishonest plagiarist, who copies from Christian writers all the objections made against the Church by the infidels of former and modern times; but he takes good care to omit all the excellent answers and complete refutations which are contained in these very same writings. His object is not to seek the truth, but to propagate falsehood.
Raynal's reputation is that of a plagiarist, but his best work is attributed to far greater names of his time. He died in 1796. Reeves, pp. 430-434. Macpherson, vol. iv. p. 10. Macpherson, Annals of Commerce, vol. i. p. 485-486. Bryan Edwards, West Indies, vol. ii. p. 450. Officially, Statute of 15 Charles II. Reeves, p. 50. Chalmers, Opinions on Interesting Subjects, p. 28.
When civil service reformers plead the urgent necessity of political reform, they are irrelevantly charged by the adherents of the spoils system with being "hypocrites and pharisees." Precisely so, when I plead the urgent necessity of philosophical reform, I am irrelevantly charged by Dr. Royce, in effect, with being a false pretender, a plagiarist, and an impostor.
There's nobody like him after all. PADDY LEONARD: Stage Irishman! BLOOM: What railway opera is like a tramline in Gibraltar? LENEHAN: Plagiarist! Down with Bloom! I believe in him in spite of all. I'd give my life for him, the funniest man on earth.
"Yes," replied Michel, with amiable conceit, "I have a few ideas of that kind." "But that idea does not originate with Michel," answered Nicholl. "Then I am only a plagiarist." "Without doubt," answered Nicholl. "According to the testimony of the ancients, the Arcadians pretended that their ancestors inhabited the earth before the moon became her satellite.
"Some day, when you are back in the old town just drop into the Hoffman House bar and take a drink for me, all the time looking up at the pictures of the lovely ladies about to go in bathing in a beautiful brook in the woods." "Stop!" said I, sternly. The piratical old plagiarist of a vehicle was about to begin filching from another source.
This Noa Noa is a refreshing contribution to the psychology of a painter who, in broad daylight dreamed fantastic visions, a painter to whom the world was but a painted vision, as the music of Richard Wagner is painted music overheard in another world. "A painter is either a revolutionist or a plagiarist," said Paul Gauguin.
About the middle of the eighteenth century, when Whig popularity was already beginning to wane, a desperate attempt was made by a rising Tory pamphleteer to crush the new Liberal idol. Dr. Johnson, the most vigorous writer of the day, conspired with one William Lauder, a native of Scotland seeking fortune in London, to stamp out Milton's credit by proving him to be a wholesale plagiarist.
This ass had been reading the 'Jibbenainosay, no doubt, and had had his poor romantic head turned by it; but as I had not yet seen the book then, I took his inventions for truth, and did not suspect that he was a plagiarist. However, we had a Lynch living in the town; and the more I reflected upon his impending doom, the more I could not sleep.
