Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void, but out of chaos; the materials must, in the first place, be afforded: it can give form to dark, shapeless substances, but cannot bring into being the substance itself.
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Frankenstein

H.G. Wells
We are kept keen on the grindstone of pain and necessity.
H.G. Wells, The Time Machine
