Serendipity. Look for something, find something else, and realize that — Serendipity

"I find that a great part of the information I have was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way."

"Serendipity is the way to make discoveries, by accident but also by sagacity, of things one is not in quest of. Based on experience, knowledge, it is the creative exploitation of the unforeseen."

"The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!" but "Thats funny."

"In the field of observation, chance favours only the prepared mind."

"Serendipity is looking in a haystack for a needle and discovering a farmers daughter."

"Synergy and serendipity often play a big part in medical and scientific advances."
