“A good artist lets his intuition lead him wherever it wants.” –Lao-Tzu
25 great Intuition Quotes from around the world.
Today I decided to allow my intuition to lead me to write a “quotes” post. It just felt right. This one of the main ways of recognizing your intuition. It’s you’re intuition when it “feels” right.
There is something so wonderful about a quote. When I see a quote that resonates with me it feels as if the author was writing specifically for me. And, many times the quote perfectly articulates a concept I might have struggled to put into words.
I’ve been reading and studying intuition for years and collecting quotes throughout that time. Here is a sampling of just some of the great quotes I have come across to date.
Enjoy!

“Come into the silence of solitude, and the vibration there will talk to you through the voice of God”. – Paramahansa Yogananda

Such a great list. Here are some I’ve stored away:
“Intuition is seeing with the soul.” ? Dean Koontz
“Intuition is the highest form of intelligence, transcending all individual abilities and skills” ? Sylvia Clare
and here’s one I have on my wall at home: (by Sylvia Clare)
“Intuition comes in several forms:
- a sudden flash of insight, visual or auditory
- a predictive dream
- a spinal shiver of recognition as something is occurring or told to you
- a sense of knowing something already
- a sense of deja vu
- a snapshot image of a future scene or event
- knowledge, perspective or understanding divined from tools which respond to the subconscious mind”
Thank you, Angela – I love quotes and am putting together a book of my favorites. So inspiring!
Hugs to you, Vidya

These are great, Angela. One of my favorites is from Picasso. He said “All childen are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”
Chilren use intuition. Adults use reason.
