Intuition Quotes

“I don’t really consider myself to be a teacher, although I understand that others do. There’s a certain restriction or reduction in that stereotype that doesn’t ring true.

That comes from allocating one’s conscience to someone else, not attending to one’s own deeper intuitive sense of right and wrong.”
