Alexander Pope

« All quotes from this author
 

Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world, and not a stone
Tell where I lie.
--

Socrates

I steal from every single movie ever made. If people don't like that, then tough tills, don't go and see it, all right? I steal from everything. Great artists steal, they don't do homages.

 
Quentin Tarantino
 

If you want to steal, steal a little in a nice way. But if you steal too much to become rich overnight, you'll be caught.
