Inspiration (page 90) Inspiration is disturbing. She does not believe in guarantees or insurance or strict schedules. She is not interested in how well you write your grant proposal or what you do for a living or why you are too busy to see her. . .
Creativity (page 61) Creativity is not efficient . . . Sometimes creativity disappears completely or wanders around the back alleys for weeks at a time. She has a strong need to be occasionally anonymous. If you run into her at the post office during one of those periods, you will probably not recognize her . . . Creativity understands the secret meanings of the months when nothing seems to get done.

From the book description:
Shortly before he died, Plenty Coups, the last great Chief of the Crow Nation, told his story-up to a certain point. “When the buffalo went away the hearts of my people fell to the ground,” he said . . “and they could not lift them up again. After this nothing happened.” It is precisely this. . . . that prompts the philosophical and ethical inquiry (of) . . . radical hope.”
Radical Hope-hope that is directed towards future goodness that transcends our current ability to understand what it is . . . hope that anticipates good when there are a lack of concepts and words to understand (Lear, 2008).

Wittenstein L. (Zettel, 313-14).
Here we come up against, a remarkable, and characteristic phenomenon in philosophical investigations: The difficulty-I might say-is not that of finding the solution, but rather that of recognizing as the solution, something that looks as if it were only a preliminary to it “We have already said everything”-not anything that follows from this; No, this itself is the solution. This is connected, I believe, with our wrongly expecting an explanation, whereas a solution of the difficulty is a description if we give it the right place in our considerations, the difficulty is: to stop.
