Emerson says that imitation is suicidal because every man has it in him to express something unique. If he merely copies someone else, he deprives the world of the best of himself, creates nothing new, and might as well not have existed. It also means that if you either copy someone else or wait for someone else to give an idea, then you aren’t living up to your full potential.

What does Emerson mean by 'In every work of genius you recognize your own rejected thoughts'?

Emerson suggests that we often fail to appreciate our own ideas until we see them expressed in the work of others, particularly in works of genius. This recognition serves as a reminder to trust our own intuition and creativity, even if society initially rejects our thoughts. By acknowledging the commonality and validity of rejected thoughts, one can gain a deeper appreciation for their own unique perspectives.
