+As the French writer André Gide put it, "Everything that needs to be said
+has already been said. But, since no one was listening, everything must be
+said again." If we’re free from the burden of trying to be completely
+original, we can stop trying to make something out of nothing, and we can
+embrace influence instead of running away from it.
