> "Good Artists Borrow, Great Artists Steal"

Forgive my pedantry, but I hate to see a favorite quote of mine used with the wrong context for the word "steal":

  "One of the surest tests [of the superiority or 
  inferiority of a poet] is the way in which a poet borrows.
  Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal..." [1]
