Divine Intellect

Famous quotes containing the words divine and/or intellect:

    ... by desiring what is perfectly good, even when we don’t quite know what it is and cannot do what we would, we are part of the divine power against evil—widening the skirts of light and making the struggle with darkness narrower.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    It is true that the discerning intellect of the world is always much in advance of the creative, so that there are competent judges of the best book, and few writers of the best books.
