Intuition Quotes



"All perceiving is also thinking, all reasoning is also intuition, all observation is also invention."

From the very beginning of their association, she'd had a bad feeling about Brandon Carver. Something about that guy just never seemed to fit.

"When I get this feeling, this compulsion, I always do what it tells me. I can't explain where it comes from or how I get it, and it doesn't happen very often. But I obey it.

"Intuitive: The word conveys, I think, a diffuse annoyance at our inability to understand how we come by such knowledge."


"You're asking me to define an abstract concept that no one has managed to explain since time began. You sort of sprang it on me," Gansey said. "Why do we breathe air? Because we love air? Because we don't want to suffocate. Why do we eat? Because we don't want to starve. How do I know I love her? Because I can sleep after I talk to her. Why?"

"The union of the mind and intuition which brings about illumination, and the development which the Sufis seek, is based upon love."


"To see life from the perspective of intuition is to have vision. To see life from the perspective of intuition is to see life from the perspective of wholeness. It is to understand that life is basically one and that we are part of life. While the intellect can only see the details, intuition sees the whole. To see life from the perspective of intuition is like looking at life from the summit of the mountain, whereas seeing life only from the perspective of intellect is like looking at life from the foot of the mountain. Through learning to listen to our intuition, we learn to be in contact with the Whole."
