Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuel… - Austin Kleon

" "
Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your
imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings,
photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture,
bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and
shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your
shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your
soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic.
