When Stallybrass said “you are not, nor should you be, the origin of your own thoughts (any more than you are the origin of your own voice)” I think he was referring to the way our thoughts are influenced by the things around us.  The thoughts we have are inspired by things we see or hear.  When it comes to research projects, this is important because we have to look at the opinions and facts found by others in forming our “own” thoughts.  Our thoughts on a topic can’t be based on our thinking alone – there needs to be evidence and this evience often comes through other people.
