Inness (the best American painter of Nature in her moods of real human feeling) once said, "No man can do anything in art, unless he has intuitions; but, between whiles, one must work hard in collecting the materials out of which intuitions are made."

On the other hand, if we consider the whole universe, the mind refuses to look at it as the outcome of chance--that is, without design or purpose. The whole question seems to me insoluble, for I cannot put much or any faith in the so-called intuitions of the human mind, which have been developed, as I cannot doubt, from such a mind as animals possess; and what would their convictions or intuitions be worth?

"Bless me! Of course not. I'll bring him over here, in the course of human events, and you can take a look at him, and act on your own intuitions. I won't say on Princess Miriam's, for Harvey is a very fine- looking fellow, and her intuitions might get confused."英文原著 · 《The Golden Fleece》

The man threw up his head. "No, Signore. Whatever comes is destiny. If I have food to-day it is enough for me.英文原著 · 《A Spirit in Prison》
He took her hand. "I don't believe you meant me to know you were here," she said, guided by the extraordinary intuition of woman. "To tell the truth," he answered, "I did not expect to see you. I thought you were all in bed."
"Oh no. I have been on the terrace and in the garden. Vere is out somewhere. I was just going to look for her."
There was a distinct question in her prominent eyes as she fixed them on him. "No, I haven't seen Vere," he said, answering it.英文原著 · 《A Spirit in Prison》
"Come, whoever you may be, you shall be in safety under my roof," the master of the house said gravely at last, acting, as he imagined, upon one of those intuitions which a man cannot always explain to himself.英文原著 · 《A Woman of Thirty》
