Original was a catamaran built by Englishman Mayflower Crisp in Rangoon, Burma in the early 19th century.Being taught by experience in the brig Bucephalus, which had a great rise of floor, that the form of the floor did not govern velocity, I built an experimental schooner called the "Original," on the double canoe or fallen floor principle, length 45 feet, breadth 9 feet, depth forward 5 feet, after 6 feet, to sail 3 feet by the stern. She proved to be a fast sailing fine sea boat; she traded during the S. W. monsoon between Rangoon and Tenasserim Provinces for several years.
“"Originality is something that you can't acquire and it must come with you."”
“True originality is not to be reached by striving after it. A man is original or he is not, as it happens, and as Heaven pleases; but, if he be original, he will be so without knowing it, and his originality will be shown in what we call the whole man, not in an assumed and startling vesture.”
“It is better to fail in originality, than to succeed in imitation.”
“The fact is that originality (unless in minds of very unusual force) is by no means a matter, as some suppose, of impulse or intuition. In general, to be found, it must be elaborately sought, and although a positive merit of the highest class, demands in its attainment less of invention than negation.”
“The test of the originality for an idea is not the absence of one single predecessor but the presence of multiple but incompatible ones.”
“Many people ... go through life with hardly an original thought; gravitate from one pleasure or amusement to another; gain a livelihood doing what someone else has assigned; flee boredom as best they can; marry and beget children; and then, without having made the slightest difference of any unique significance, die and decay like any animal.”
