“An original mind is rarely understood, until it has been reflected from some half-dozen congenial with it, so averse are men to admitting the true in an unusual form; whilst any novelty, however fantastic, however false, is greedily swallowed.” MenMindHas BeensFormHalfUnderstoodOriginalsFantasticUnusualDozenNoveltyAdmitting Book:Lectures on Art, and Poems Source: Lectures on Art, and Poems
“Harvey sought for truth in Truth's own book- Creation - which by God himself was writ;And wisely thought 'twas fitNot to read comments only upon it,But on th' original itself to look.Methinks in Art's great circle others standLock'd up together hand in hand:Every one leads as he is led,The same bare path they tread,A dance like that of Fairies, a fantastic round,With neither change of motion nor of ground.Had Harvey to this road confined his wit,His noble circle of the blood had been untrodden yet.” LooksArtBookHandsTogetherPathBloodCreationOriginalsRoundsNobleWitCirclesFantasticFairyCommentConfinedHand In HandHarvey Author:William Harvey
“When reputable scientists correct flaws in an experiment that produced fantastic results, then fail to get those results when they repeat the test with flaws corrected, they withdraw their original claims. They do not defend them by arguing irrelevantly that the failed replication was successful in some other way, or by making intemperate attacks on whomever dares to criticize their competence.” WayResultsSuccessfulFailingAtheismTestsScientistClaimsOriginalsDarePositive AtheismArguingExperimentsFantasticRepeatsFlawsCriticizeCompetenceReplication Author:Martin Gardner

“You know something has really stuck in Tim's head when he's drawn what the character looks like. Weird Girl and Elsa actually switched places, at one point. I may be mis-remembering it, but the original design for Weird Girl was actually Elsa, but then it became Winona Ryder's character, and the new Weird Girl was just fantastic with those giant wide eyes.” KnowsLooksMayCharacterEyeRememberGirlDesignOriginalsWideStuckFantasticGiantsElsaWide Eyes Author:John August
“The moment when I press the shutter is fantastic, orgasmic, so charged with the hope that this will be a great, original, interesting, and perfectly composed photo.

“Another factor is that in terms of the original compositions, this is our strongest year yet.

“But strangely, [in] the original Matt Helm books, he's just this super hardass assassin. They sort of made it into a sexy romp for the movies. The books are very, very dark. I also watched 'OSS 117: Cairo, Nest Of Spies,' which is a French film. They just made a second one, I think, which is based on like, 100 novels. They're just fantastic. They're set in the '60s. A lot of the visual inspiration definitely came from 1960 James Bond movies and 'OSS 177' and also 'Pink Panther' movies.” ThinkingMadeBookInspirationFilmDarkNovelOriginalsSexyMade ItFantasticVisualsSpy1960sNestsAssassinsPanthersHelmCairoBond MovieJames Bond MoviePink Panther Author:Adam Reed
“I worked at the original Coyote Ugly bar when I was a young, unpublished writer. Then later when I became a writer, I wrote an article about it for GQ. Disney read this article about this filthy, disgusting pit in the East Village [of New York City], where we used to set the bar on fire to get customers away from us, and said, "That's a great movie for kids!"
