“Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original… whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it. The principle runs through all life from top to bottom.
“Give up yourself, and you will find your real self.”
- C.S. Lewis

You can always count on C.S. Lewis for a great quote!
