If it's other peoples quotes, how can it be your wisdom? plagerising wisdom 
.
Speaking of quotes, some are not all they seem. Sometimes there's more to that little one liner that everyone knows so well...
Possibly, but in the meantime they will keep me poor by sending me off to Spotlight to buy more fur and stuffing so I can make more bears. Ahh, I see what they're doing... One day there'll be enough bears and then I'll be found under a pile of them, the hapless victim of a bear-valanche.
Ever listened to a song and felt like the lyrics really touched you?
Almost as if they had been written for/to/about/because of you?
It's kind of eerie.
I know it can be explained as synchronicity (great word, took me three tries to spell it correctly, lol) but all the same, the feeling that someone put your thoughts, your feelings into words in a way you couldn't manage, yourself, is a strange, almost flattering feeling.
There's a track on an album I've owned since before I care to remember that still resonates with me in that way.
Maybe it's that there's nothing new under the Sun, that all the words have already been written and all we're doing is wandering, lost, until we find them and they give our lives meaning.
Or maybe I'm one of those unimaginative, unauthentic, lazy people who prefers to use other people's words.

Totally get what you mean ecar ๐
Whether it's lyrics from a song or words from a book, they're just words.
The meaning, in them, felt by the writer, is too often lost on the reader.
This is the tyranny of the written word; no vocal inflection, no human gesture to lend it life.
Devoid of soul or spirit.
