Quotes About Intuition

When you're an actress you are in a very specific position, cerebrally, I would think you know. You are a thinking person but you are in a certain perception of the world between really being conceptual and completely stupid. So you are in between, with a lot of intuition and instinct.

These little things pop into our heads - it's just a process of intuition. The initial thought comes in a baby state, and you work on that some more.

I think that the lack of intuition in fashion today is one of the most dangerous things. My fear is that our business is turning into a bag business, and it's all about the bag.

The idea that we should do what maximizes happiness sounds very reasonable, but it often conflicts with our gut reactions.

But when you look at the psychology behind those examples, they become less compelling. An alternative is that our gut reactions are not always reliable.

It demands that we live the questions rather than the answers.

Criticism is above all a gift, an intuition, a matter of tact and flair; it cannot be taught or demonstrated--it is an art. Critical genius means an aptitude for discerning truth under appearances or in disguises which conceal it; for discovering it in spite of the errors of testimony, the frauds of tradition, the dust of time, the loss or alteration of texts. It is the sagacity of the hunter whom nothing deceives for long, and whom no ruse can throw off the trail.
