Intuition

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

I believe in intuition and inspiration…at times I feel certain I am right while not knowing the reason.

I believe in intuitions and inspirations…I sometimes FEEL that I am right. I do not KNOW that I am.

Indeed, it is not intellect, but intuition which advances humanity. Intuition tells man his purpose in this life.

It occurred to me by intuition, and music was the driving force behind that intuition. My discovery was the result of musical perception.

Man, surrounded by facts, permitting himself no surprise, no intuitive flash, no great hypothesis, no risk, is in a locked cell. Ignorance cannot seal the mind and imagination more securely.

One who scorns the power of intuition will never rise above the ranks of journeyman calculator.

Reason is intuition’s servant.

The ability to portray people in still life and in motion requires the highest measure of intuition and talent.

The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it Intuition or what you will, the solution comes to you and you don’t know how or why.

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift.

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. We will not solve the problems of the world from the same level of thinking we were at when we created them. More than anything else, this new century demands new thinking: We must change our materially based analyses of the world around us to include broader, more multidimensional perspectives.

The music of Mozart is of such purity and beauty that one feels he merely found it - that it has always existed as part of the inner beauty of the universe waiting to be revealed.

The only real valuable thing is intuition.

The really valuable method of thought to arrive at a logically coherent system is intuition.

The supreme task of the physicist is to arrive at those universal elementary laws from which the cosmos can be built up by pure deduction. There is no logical path to these laws; only intuition, resting on sympathetic understanding of experience, can reach them.

There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance.
