The bow must be strung and unstrung . . . there must be time also for the unconscious thinking which comes to the busy man in his play.

Where're you going Ra?
Take me with you Ra...
You're such a busy God
I wish you could stay
I only want to play and play
But you're such a busy god
and I'm such a mortal RaHappy Rhodes
I am a believer in unconscious cerebration. The brain is working all the time, though we do not know it. At night it follows up what we think in the daytime. When I have worked a long time on one thing, I make it a point to bring all the facts regarding it together before I retire; I have often been surprised at the results... We are thinking all the time; it is impossible not to think.
Alexander Graham Bell
l'd been getting bored with the stereotyped changes that were being used all the time at the time, and I kept thinking there's bound to be something else. I could hear it sometimes but I couldn't play it. ... I found that by using the higher intervals of a chord as a melody line and backing them with appropriately related changes I could play the thing I'd been hearing. I came alive.
Charlie Parker
I have often wished I had time to cultivate modesty... But I am too busy thinking about myself.
Edith Sitwell
The harp at Nature's advent strung
Has never ceased to play;
The song the stars of morning sung
Has never died away.John Greenleaf Whittier
