“Originality often consists in linking up ideas whose connection was not previously suspected.” —Practical wisdom on creativity circa 1957 (via explore-blog)

“Artists have a vested interest in our believing in the flash of revelation, the so-called inspiration… shining down from heavens as a ray of grace. In reality, the imagination of the good artist or thinker produces continuously good, mediocre or bad things, but his judgment, trained and sharpened to a fine point, rejects, selects, connects… All great artists and thinkers are great workers, indefatigable not only in inventing, but also in rejecting, sifting, transforming, ordering.” —Nietzsche (via explore-blog)
