That sentence should be engraved above the gateway into academia.
There's nothing new under the Moon! Except my research, of course...

This dictum doesn't just apply to the schools that are sometimes
called "modernist" (by those in the school that don't know that there
_are_ no "schools"). It also applies to the schools sometimes called
"postmodernist"  (by the same ignorami), since they are so similar to
the old (premodern) schools sometimes called "romantic" (by the same
dittoheads).
