“Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get the work done. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lighting to strike you in the brain, you’re not going to make an awful lot of work.” – Chuck Close via Joshua Blankenship

I totally disagree. I’m not saying inspiration is the only way to get anything done, but it can be the boost you need to do it really, really well. In my opinion, it’s the rare combination of work ethic and inspiration that leads to really great results.
