Those Quotes (page 346)

Leaders trust their guts. "Intuition" is one of those good words that has gotten a bad rap. For some reason, intuition has become a "soft" notion. Garbage! Intuition is the new physics.

Cease, stranger, cease those witching notes, The art of syren choirs; Hush the seductive voice that floats Across the trembling wires. Music's ethereal power was given Not to dissolve our clay, But draw Promethean beams from heaven To purge the dross away. John Henry Newman
The function of the well-intentioned individual, acting in isolation, is to formulate or disseminate theoretical truths.

Aldous Huxley
[Americans] were, for one thing, so smitten with the idea of progress that they invented things without having any idea whether those things would be of any use. Bill Bryson
But, as I say, I was toofull of excitement and (a true saying, though those who have neverknown danger may doubt it) too desperate to die. H. G. Wells

I am fifty years old and I have never known what it is to love. I can write those words, know them to be true, but feel only the regret that a tone-deaf man must feel because he can't appreicate music, a regret less keen because it is for something never known, not for something lost. P. D. James
