Day 15 – DSED

“These sudden inspirations never happen except after some days of voluntary effort which have appeared absolutely fruitless and whence nothing good seems to have come, where the way taken seems totally astray. These efforts have not been as sterile as one thinks; they have set agoing the unconscious machine and without them it would not have moved and would have produced nothing. — Jules Henri Poincare, nineteenth-century mathematician, who wrote a descriptive account of his creative processes called “Mathematical Creation” in 1908
