"Paraphrasing is fine, but attributing a paraphrase as a quote is intellectually and academically dishonest. Both versions of the quote have been adopted and implemented into culture by people justifying broad fair use arguments or their own habits. Significantly, it is unfair that either of the great artists have been affiliated with a quote that does not reflect them, or their work."
“A wonderful flaw in human beings is that we’re incapable of making perfect copies. Our failure to copy our heroes is where we discover where our own thing lives.
In the end merely imitating your heroes is not flattering them. Transforming their works into something of your own is how you flatter them. Adding something to the world that only you can add.”
