Nobody is born with a style or a voice. We don’t come out of the womb knowing who we are. In the beginning, we learn by pretending to be our heroes. … - Austin Kleon

It is our failure to become our perceived ideal that ultimately defines us and makes us unique.

The reason to copy your heroes and their style is so that you might somehow get a glimpse into their minds. That's what you really want - to internalize their way of looking at the wold. If you just mimic the surface of somebody's work without understanding where they are coming from, your work will never be anything more that a knockoff.

Nada paraliza más que la idea de posibilidades ilimitadas. La idea de hacer cualquier cosa es absolutamente aterrorizante.
