It is by logic that we prove, but by intuition that we discover. To know how to criticize is good, to know how to create is better.

Henri Poincare

Mathematicians create by acts of insights and intuition. Logic then sanctions the conquests of intuition.

Morris Kline

It is through science that we prove, but through intuition that we discover.

Henri Poincare

A scientist works largely by intuition. Given enough experience, a scientist examining a problem can leap to an intuition as to what the solution 'should look like.' ... Science is ultimately based on insight, not logic.

Guy Consolmagno

Intuition is the innate ability in everyone to perceive truth directly - not by reason, logic, or analysis, but by a simple knowing from within. That is the very meaning of the word "intuition": to know, or understand from within - from one's own self, and from the heart of whatever one is trying to understand. Intuition is the inner ability to see behind the outer forms of things to their inner essence.

Goswami Kriyananda

Logic obviously is important. You need to be able to figure things out, to go to the end of a particular problem. But intuition is very important because it references things that logic alone cannot.

Daniel Tammet

We will convert the entire world to Islam with our logic. We are confident that the Islamic logic, culture, and discourse can prove their superiority in all fields over all schools of thought and theories.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself.

Alan Alda

Through logic and inference we can prove anything. Therefore, logic and inference, in contrast to ordinary daily living experience, are secondary instruments of knowledge. Probably tertiary.

Edward Abbey

If one doesn't value logic, what logical argument would you invoke to prove they should value logic?

Sam Harris

It is with logic that one proves; it is with intuition that one invents.

Henri Poincare

Intuition is a suspension of logic due to impatience.

Rita Mae Brown

Logic merely sanctions the conquests of the intuition.

Jacques Hadamard

When intuition and logic agree, you are always right.

Blaise Pascal

If we did not have a sense of who we were, how we got here, why we want to achieve something - which, on the face of it, on the logic of it, is probably not worth trying - and prove that logic wrong, then you wouldn't succeed; then you would just evaporate.

Lee Hsien Loong

Intuition is more important to discovery than logic.
