“Really we create nothing. We merely plagiarise nature”

The Invisible Pyramid, Loren Eiseley, p 51.

Eiseley attributes this quote to Jean Baitaillon. I want to clarify that and not risk that the author be charged with academic dishonesty. But on reflection, and in the spirit of the quote, perhaps nature should be cited as the original author.
