Original.- Original minds are distinguished not by
being the first to see a new thing, but by seeing the
old, well-known thing, which is seen and overlooked
by every one, as something new. The first discoverer
is usually that quite ordinary and unintellectual
visionary- chance.


--Friedrich Nietzsche

Could one say that Nietzsche was commenting more upon the meaning of "thought" than upon the meaning of "original"?
