When a thing has been said and well, have no scruple. Take it and copy it.

  1. that's just research... it has nothing to do with plagiarism. you copy well written things into your commonplace book or your research notebook, you note where it is from, and you cite it if you re-use it. I do like the lautremont quote on plagiarism better.
