There is no scientific discoverer, no poet, no painter, no musician, who will not tell you that he found ready made his discovery or poem or picture - that it came to him from outside, and that he did not consciously create it from within.

  • -- William Kingdon Clifford 威廉·金顿·克利福德

没有一个科学的发现者,没有一个诗人,没有一个画家,没有一个音乐家不告诉你,他发现了现成的发现,无论是诗歌还是绘画,都是来自外部的,而不是他有意识地从内部创造出来的。
