Famous quotes containing the word intuition:
“All appeared new, and strange at first, inexpressibly rare and delightful and beautiful. I was a little stranger, which at my entrance into the world was saluted and surrounded with innumerable joys. My knowledge was divine. I knew by intuition those things which since my Apostasy, I collected again by the highest reason.”
—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
“Reason is sight. Instinct is touch. Intuition is smell.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

—Crane Wilbur (1889–1973)
