dgmodel Posted July 31 Author Report Share Posted July 31 Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fierydesire Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 DG: I agreeI think the phrase that you speak of is one of an ancient greek philospher. . . as per our discussion yesterday, often at times ppl use others quotes or phrase. I don't see it as theft but more as an arisal of past sayings which are of some meaning at the time the present person uses it. Who is to say we can't use someone elses phrase unless it is copyrighted??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But apparently we've lost the funny up in this bad boy.Who's to say I don't agree with either of you.... i never said otherwise. I too look to some past greats and not-so-greats for words of wisdom. I'd much rather look into history for philosophy....because these days, no one knows shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
