Reading Einstein's Mind

[Guest Ionized]

I found the following quote by Albert Einstein. I like it. I can't remember where it came from.

 

Innovation is not the product of logical thought, although the result is tied to logical structure.

-Albert Einstein

 

What do you think this quote really means? I think I know, but I'm having trouble finding the words to explain it.

 

I'm looking for help. What say you?

Innovation requires inspiration, a spark, and it's not just deductive logic that is involved. While pieces have to fit together logically, the way they fit together in a way that nobody thought of before is the innovation.
