I'll think out the next one.

Where there’re restrictions, “necessity is the mother of invention“. Nothing evolves without restrictions to adapt to, or a star to guide it. Although adaptation is painful, it’s necessary for innovation. Life’s always engaged in the quest for survival, and that’s its restrictive mantra enabling it to evolve. A restrictive poem evolves into its most adaptive form.
