"The creative person wants to be a know-it-all. He wants to know about all
kinds of things--ancient history, nineteenth centrury mathematics, current
manufacturing techniques, hog futures. Because he never knows when these
ideas might come together to form a new idea. It may happen six minutes
later, or six months, or six years. But he has faith that it will happen."
- Carl Ally
