There is a road from the eye to heart that does not go through the intellect.

The thing that I was brought up to prize above everything else is the intellect. There is no problem that the intellect cannot solve, but it never had an original thought. Originality is the realm of the unconscious.

God cannot be realized through the intellect. Intellect can lead one to a certain extent and no further. It is a matter of faith and experience derived from that faith.

The intellect is a cold thing and a merely intellectual idea will never stimulate thought in the same manner that a spiritual idea does.

Intellect is the swiftest of things, for it runs through everything.

The intellect is always fooled by the heart.

Intellect distinguishes between the possible and the impossible; reason distinguishes between the sensible and the senseless. Even the possible can be senseless.

From the lowest animals of which we can affirm intelligence up to man this type of intellect is found.

The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.

The voice of the intellect is a soft one, but it does not rest until it has gained a hearing.
