• Several years ago we had an intern who was none too swift. One day he was typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?" "Just use copier machine paper," she told him. With that, the intern took his last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five blank copies.

• The power of a text when it is read is different from the power it has when it is copied out. Only the copied text thus commands the soul of him who is occupied with it, whereas the mere reader never discovers the new aspects of his inner self that are opened by the text, that road cut through the interior jungle forever closing behind it: because the reader follows the movement of his mind in the free flight of day-dreaming, whereas the copier submits it to command.

  Walter Benjamin

• Ningún hombre, por muy esclavo que sea de sus apetitos o apresurado por sus pasiones, puede, mientras conserve intacto su intelecto, complacerse en promover la corrupción de los demás. Aquel cuyo mérito ha ampliado su influencia, seguramente desearía ejercerla en beneficio de la humanidad. Sin embargo, tal será el efecto de su reputación, mientras se permita a sí mismo entregarse a cualquier falta favorita, que aquellos que no tienen esperanza de alcanzar su excelencia se fijarán en sus defectos, y sus virtudes serán citadas para justificar a los copiadores de sus vicios.

  Samuel Johnson

  Passion, Men, Indulge In

  Samuel Johnson, Elizabeth Carter, Samuel Richardson, Catherine Talbot (1825). “The Rambler: A Periodical Paper, Published in 1750, 1751, 1752”, p.283
