There seems to... the kind of epiphanies that you have, like the little sudden bursts of light, they're very small and they're very short and it's the pursuit of the idea that's the important thing. . . .

Ideas are such are a little overrated really; it's the work behind the idea that's the important thing."

-- Nick Cave
