One of my favorites from the eminently quotable Sir Terry Pratchett:
Particles of raw inspiration sleet through the universe all the time. Every once in a while one of them hits a receptive mind, which then invents DNA or the flute sonata form or a way of making light bulbs wear out in half the time. But most of them miss. Most people go through their lives without being hit by even one.
— from Wyrd Sisters, 1980.
