"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, will become original without ever having noticed it.
Give up yourself, and you will find your real self.
Loose your life and you will save it."
~C.S. Lewis {Mere Christianity}
