Good artists copy; great artists steal.

(probably not Picasso)

I like this form better – from the article linked above.

Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different.

TS Eliot, “The Sacred Woord: Essays on Poetry and Criticism”

All this is besides the point. When jmac writes a blog post, he shares it on his Twitter account. Then he puts the tweet link in the blog post, encouraging folks to share or reply via the tweet.

I stole that for here.
