Koestler's Law of Creativity

The creative act is not an act of creation in the sense of the Old Testament.

It does not create something out of nothing; it uncovers, selects, re-shuffles, combines, synthesises already existing facts, ideas, faculties, skills.

The more familiar the parts, the more striking the new whole.
