Quote of the Day

"Inspiration is not the exclusive privilege of poets or artists generally. There is, has been and always will be a certain group of people whom inspiration visits. It's made up of all those who've consciously chosen their calling and do their jobs with love and imagination. It may include doctors, teachers, gardeners -- and I could list a hundred more professions. Their work becomes one continuous adventure as long as they manage to keep discovering new challenges in it. Difficulties and setbacks never quell their curiosity. A swarm of new questions emerges with every problem they solve. Whatever inspiration is, it's born from a continuous 'I don't know.'" -- Wislawa Szymborska, 1996 Nobel lecture
