on Originality...

"Originality is the very thing you can't give away," Frederick Sommer.

One of the peculiar things in Fred's words is the duality of 
definitions.  Originality is something no one can take from you, they 
wouldn't want it, you can not move away from it if it is original.

"Do no less well than you can do each day" is indicated in many 
philosophies.  That's one of the things an artist strives for, 
regardless of the additional motivations.
