That Thoreau quote really hits the nail on its head. Creativity is a response to experiences. All sorts of wonderful things might be brewing in the back of your mind without you even knowing, but that's only if you let yourself take in new impressions.
I find that if I don't try to squeeze my brain for ideas, I get all sorts of good ideas at the most random times. I like to keep paper and pen next to my bed, because I sometimes get ideas just before I'm falling asleep.
