• It is good to remember that the goal of Buddhism is to create Buddhas, not Buddhists, as the goal of Christianity is to create Christs, not Christians.

• If I created a new depravity I would be a priestess, while my imitators would founder, after my reign, in abominable filth...Don't you think that proud men, copying Satan, are more guilty than the Satan of the Bible, who invented pride? Is Satan not respectable because of his unprecedented and divinely inspired sin?

  Rachilde

• Cada uno debe considerarse responsable no sólo de su propia conducta, sino también de la de los demás; y responsable no sólo de los deberes que descuida o de los delitos que comete, sino también de la negligencia e irregularidad que puede fomentar o inculcar. Todo hombre, cualquiera que sea su posición, tiene, o procura tener, seguidores, admiradores e imitadores, y tiene, por tanto, que vigilar con cuidado la influencia de su ejemplo.

• I'm not a star. I'll never be a Frank Sinatra or Elvis Presley or a Ray Charles. I'm just an imitator, man. I'm doing a very bad imitation on the bass of Jerry Jemmott, Bernard Odum, Jimmy Fielder, Jimmy Blanton, Igor Stravinsky, Jimi Hendrix, John Coltrane, James Brown, Charlie Parker... the cats, man. I'm just backing up the cats.

• El cristiano que desea seguir a Jesús llevando su cruz debe tener presente que el nombre de "cristiano" significa "aprendiz o imitador de Cristo" y que, si quiere llevar dignamente ese noble título, debe hacer ante todo lo que Cristo nos encarga en el Evangelio: Debemos oponernos o negarnos a nosotros mismos, tomar la cruz y seguirle.

• There are many excellent guitar players but I have to say Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton are still at the top! There are many imitators but very few genuine articles. There is so much more to playing than a fast blur of notes, like feeling and emotion from the soul. It's like punctuating a sentence and knowing when to lay back and not fill up all the space. Those are the things I tried to teach my son Tim when he began playing.

  Merrell Fankhauser

• The key to terror, the key to terrorism, is not the act - but the fear of the act. That is why bin Laden and his deputies and his imitators are forever putting together videotaped statements and releasing virtual infomercials with dire threats and heart-stopping warnings. But why is the Republican Party imitating them? Bin Laden puts out what amounts to a commercial of fear; The Republicans put out what is unmistakable as a commercial of fear. The Republicans are paying to have the messages of bin Laden and the others broadcast into your home.

  Keith Olbermann

• I do not know if Alice in Wonderland was an original story-I was, at least, no conscious imitator in writing it-but I do know that, since it came out, something like a dozen story-books have appeared, on identically the same pattern. The path I timidly explored believing myself to be 'the first that ever burst into that silent sea'-is now a beaten high-road: all the way-side flowers have long ago been trampled into the dust: and it would be courting disaster for me to attempt that style again.

• Me puse a estudiar y a imitar y lo que hice básicamente fue robar de todas las personas a las que pude robar. Yo era un imitador. Eso es lo que era. Pasaron años antes de que pudiera coger todas esas cosas que me gustaban de todos esos artistas y juntarlas para encontrar mi voz.

• Pessimism like calumny is easy to do, and attracts immediate attention. The gossiper and the writer may find this out soon enough, and a little encouragement from the current mood will procure them successes that bring endless imitators in their trail. On the other hand saying good things about life in general and individuals in particular and making it interesting is a serious task which few can achieve with credit.

• The way so many musicians slavishly imitated Coltrane, that's the way it was with Charlie Parker - only even more so, if that can be imagined. Everyone that I knew changed totally. But they took the worst things of his playing-that harsh sound; it just didn't come off the way they did it. The way he did it was great, Their way wasn't good at all. I just would listen to 'em, say: 'That's a Bird imitator', and that would be it; I would never care to listen to them again.

• Otros se empeñan en intentar alcanzar la precisión y el aplomo que ven en quienes tienen la habilidad de elegir entre un gran número de caballos aquellos con [...] cualidades que sólo se encuentran en un número muy reducido de caballos. Esto lleva a una circunstancia en la que estos imitadores de tan estudiado aplomo mortifican el espíritu de un caballo noble, y le quitan toda la bondad de temperamento que la Naturaleza le ha dado.

  François Robichon de La Gueriniere
