This bit of profundity about the origins of creativity comes from the wonderful 1949 movie, The Third Man, when Orson Welles' character says:
"In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance.
"In Switzerland, they had brotherly love; they had five hundred years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce?
"The cuckoo clock."
