“Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void but out of chaos”
— Mary Shelley

Simplified Meaning:
Creating new ideas or inventions isn’t like pulling something from thin air. Instead, it's about making sense out of a messy situation or combining existing things in new ways. Imagine you're trying to make a new recipe, but your kitchen is a total mess with ingredients scattered everywhere. You don’t get new ingredients magically; you take the ones already available and mix them uniquely to create a delicious dish. That's what invention is like – organizing what's already around us to make something new and useful. So, if you're facing a situation that seems chaotic and disordered, look closely. You might just find the components needed for your next great idea or project right there.
