Intuition is the clear conception of the whole at once.
Early impressions are like glimpses seen through the window by night when lightning is about.
Stung by the splendour of a sudden thought.
The sudden hunch, the creative leap of mind that "sees" in a flash how to solve a problem in a simple way, is something quite different from general intelligence.
The only character I ever remember actually creating in a flash of inspiration was George Liquor. God planted that in my head in an instant.
Inspiration could be called inhaling the memory of an act never experienced.
Television news is like a lightning flash. It makes a loud noise, lights up everything around it, leaves everything else in darkness and then is suddenly gone.
Inspiration doesn't really work like that - you're not looking out for it. Inspiration is something that tends to capture you rather than you capture it.
I don't expect to find inspiration. It just sort of comes. Sometimes you step on a bug and you get inspired.
