Quotes About Intuition

These findings add to the growing evidence that good mood, intuition, creativity, gullibility, and increased reliance on System 1 form a cluster.

A happy mood loosens the control of System 2 over performance: when in a good mood, people become more intuitive and more creative but also less vigilant and more prone to logical errors.

A lot of the so-called systems composers have this thing that the system is always right. You don't fiddle with it at all. Well, I don't think that.

When we listen to our intuition and take some risks, we are not alone. The universe will support us and reward us for taking risks on its behalf!

Most of us lead far more meaningful lives than we know. Often finding meaning is not about doing things differently; it is about seeing familiar things in new ways. When we find new eyes, the unsuspected blessing in work we have done for many years may take us completely by surprise. We can see life in many ways: with the eye, with the mind, with the intuition.

The scientific value of truth is not, however, ultimate or absolute. It rests partly on practical, partly on aesthetic interests.

This is the fundamental value of natural science
