Intellectual Intuition

Famous quotes containing the words intellectual and/or intuition:

    Our loss put six feet under ground
    Is measured by the magnolia’s root;
    Our gain’s the intellectual sound
    Of death’s feet round a weedy tomb.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    When a scientist is ahead of his times, it is often through misunderstanding of current, rather than intuition of future truth. In science there is never any error so gross that it won’t one day, from some perspective, appear prophetic.
    Jean Rostand (1894–1977)
