This reminds me of Salvador Dali's quip that "the first man to compare the cheeks of a young woman to a rose was obviously a poet; the first to repeat it was possibly an idiot." It also reminds me of Marcel Duchamp, who (speaking of his tremendously famous and influential Nude Descending A Staircase[1]) said "This idea of changing, not repeating myself. I could have done ten nudes probably at that time if I wanted to. I decided not to go that."[2] [1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nude_Descending_a_Staircase%2C_No._2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nude_Descending_a_Staircase%2C...
