"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."
I'm inclined to think that the great man's playful epigram here is founded on somewhat of a false distinction. The intuitive mind is perfectly rational: it's just supercharged - by not having the ego constantly stomping all over it.
This is why the notion of trusting your gut is not mere idle superstition; it's almost invariably far superior to pondersously over-thinking a problem.
