Wilson Mizner Quotes About Lying

Quotes about: Lying
  • If you steal from one author it's plagiarism; if you steal from many it's research.

    Quoted in Bennett Cerf, Try and Stop Me: A Collection of Anecdotes and Stories, Mostly Humorous (1944). Although this is usually credited to Mizner, the Los Angeles Times, 17 Mar. 1941, quotes Bob Oliver: "If you steal from one man, it's plagiarism. If you steal from several, it's research."
