Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that inspiration is not something that can be sought out or forced. It suggests that true inspiration does not come from intentionally seeking it out or expecting to find it in certain places. Instead, it argues that inspiration emerges naturally from our experiences, the impressions we accumulate, and the knowledge built by those who came before us. The quote highlights the notion that inspiration is not about inventing something entirely new, but rather about drawing from the past and transforming existing ideas into something meaningful and unique.
