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. Albert Einstein, cited Principles of Research, 1918
Intuition is the highest form of intelligence, transcending all individual abilities and skills. Sylvia Clare, Trusting Your Intuition
Intuition is seeing with the soul. Dean Koontz
Backlock, a poet blind from his birth, could describe visual objects with accuracy; Professor Sanderson, who was also blind, gave excellent lectures on colour, and taught others the theory of ideas which they had and he had not. In the social sphere these gifted ones are mostly women; they can watch a world which they never saw, and estimate forces of which they have only heard. We call it intuition. Thomas Hardy, The Return of the Native
Intuition rebels: we seem to want to believe that there’s some essence of ourselves, something that would not go across with all those molecules, something that a religious person might want to call a soul. Richard Dawkins, Sex, Death and the Meaning of Life, Channel 4 2012
