In article <VICTOR.92Dec15180424@terse.watson.ibm.com>
victor@watson.ibm.com (Victor Miller) has the sig:

		   "Great artists steal; lesser artists borrow" Igor Stravinsky

Ironically, I'd always heard that quote credited to T.S. Eliot.  But who
knows.

A conversation attributed (in Bartlett's) to James Whistler and Oscar Wilde:

    JW: [witticism]
    OW: I wish I'd said that!
    JW: You will, Oscar, you will.
