“It is a danger to wait around for an idea to occur to you.  You have to find the idea.”

Gerhard Richter, via Daily Rituals

Beyond the Quote (Day 413)

Ideas are the treasure of your mind. They represent pockets of overlapping information that have the potential to yield a valuable return. And like treasure, they’re revealed only through motion, activity, disruption—never the opposite. Treasure is buried. It’s hidden away. It’s off the beaten path. It doesn’t just lay itself on the front door of your mind. It’s only discovered in the depths of your consciousness. It doesn’t come to you; you go to it.
