About This Quote

The quote, “An original writer is not one who imitates nobody, but one whom nobody can imitate.” by Robert Louis Stevenson means that no one can write like the author in the same way that no one can be like the author in any other way. The meaning of this quote lies in its observation that an author's style—whether it's his or her choice of words, tone, or even the form of the story—is unique to them.
