I wish I remembered who it was, but I heard an interview by someone who'd describe a trip they were on.
He describes thinking about stuff and suddenly having this mind-blowing insight, an idea that let all the pieces fall into place about the nature of life, the universe and everything. He felt like a mental giant who had cracked the deepest question of humanity.
He quickly took a piece of paper and wrote it down lest he'd forget it.
The next day, he found a piece of paper in his pocket, and someone had scribbled on it - "The wall is green" (*)
(*) I may misremember the color
