“How did I get the idea? Ideas don't just spring out of nothing - they smoulder, ferment, crowd our mind while we sleep. Ideas walk on their own two legs, follow their own parallel path in part of us we have absolutely no idea existed, until one day they come knocking: here we are, they say, now listen carefully!”
