We always know which is the best road to follow, but we follow only the road that we have become accustomed to.[Vemos sempre o melhor caminho a seguir, mas só andamos pelo caminho que estamos acostumados.]
Les femmes. They are marvellous! They invent haphazard – and by miracle they are right. Not that it is that, really. Women observe subconsciously a thousand little details, without knowing that they are doing so. Their subconscious mind adds these little things together – and they call the result intuition.
With the eyes of the mind one can see more than with the eyes of the body.
We only believe in those thoughts which have been conceived not in the brain but in the whole body.
Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.[Gedanken ohne Inhalt sind leer, Anschauungen ohne Begriffe sind blind.]
Thought can never be compared with action, but when it awakens in us the image of truth.[La pensée ne peut être mise à l’égal de l’action que quand elle réveille en nous l’image de la vérité.]
Things often spring spontaneously to mind in a more finished form than could be achieved with great labor and thought.[Il arrive souvent que des choses se présentent plus achevées à notre esprit qu’il ne les pourrait faire avec beaucoup d’art.]
There comes a point where the mind takes leap – call it intuition or what you will – and come out upon a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there.
Just leave your mind alone; your intuition knows what it wants to write, so get out of the way.
Intuition is the art, peculiar to the human mind, of working out the correct answer from data that is, in itself, incomplete or even, perhaps, misleading.
Intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life.[Os pressentimentos eram os rápidos mergulhos que a alma dava nesta corrente Universal de vida.]
Intuition is like reading a word without having to spell it out. A child can’t do that because it has had so little experience. But a grown-up person knows the word because they’ve seen it often before.
