Inspiration Comes Unawares, From Unaccountable Sources That Have Nothing To Do With Planning Or Intelligence. Let It Cool Ever So Slightly, And You Are Left, Pen Or Brush In Hand, With No Inspiration At All.

They Simply Happened To Be Born With That Fortunate, Subconscious Equipment Of Theirs, And The Mystery Exists Independently Of Intelligence Or Ambition.
