love that Alan Ginsberg quote: it’s tricky: at some time the mind has to make a decision, and the more options it considers the harder it is to decide —

The quotation does seem to be by Francis Picabia, from La Pomme de pins in February 1922: ““Notre tête est ronde pour permettre à la pensée de changer de direction.” Allen Ginsberg wasn’t even born till 1926.

Yes, that’s often what happens. Person B quotes person A and someone thinks person B is saying something original.
