“The very essence of the creative is its novelty, and hence we have no standard by which to judge it.”
Carl Rogers
“The disease is no longer a novelty to people, and sometimes owners take it upon themselves to diagnose their horse with West Nile and put him down before ever confirming it, ... It may be a true decline, but the numbers may not be as true as we are seeing.”
David Gaines
“Woman wants monogamy; / Man delights in novelty. / Love is woman's moon and sun; / Man has other forms of fun. . . / With this the gist and sum of it, / What earthly good can come of it?”
Dorothy Parker
“Without aesthetic, design is either the humdrum repetition of familiar cliches or a wild scramble for novelty. Without the aesthetic, the computer is but a mindless speed machine, producing effects without substance. Form without relevant content, or content without meaningful form.”
Paul Rand
“All wonder is the effect of novelty on ignorance”
Samuel Johnson
“The writer of originality, unless dead, is always shocking, scandalous; novelty disturbs and repels.”
Simone de Beauvoir
“The merit of originality is not novelty; it is sincerity. The believing man is the original man; whatsoever he believes, he believes it for himself, not for another.”
Thomas Carlyle
