“Without deviation from the norm,
progress is not possible.”
―
“Inspiration is for amateurs…
The rest of us just show up and get to work.
If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightening to strike you in the brain,
you are not going to make an awful lot of work.
All the best ideas come out of the process;
they come out of the work itself.”
