Actually, the original quote (by TS Eliot) is "a bad poet imitates, a good poet steals." And I think the implication is that, instead of copying an artist you like a lot, you go ahead and rip off whatever he or she did, then actually GO somewhere with it. It's kind of like "get over trying to be 'original,' everything's been done, just try to do it better."
my 2 cents anyway... --- Tosh said: --- OH THE HUMANITY, OH THE HORROR!!!! <sigh> Someone once said "good artists borrow, great artists steal."
