“Intuition represents a concept which is made up from lots of ideas and assumptions, not all of which will be common to everyone.”

“Neither novels or their readers benefit from any attempts to divine whether any facts hide inside a story. Such efforts attack the very idea that made-up stories can matter, which is sort of the foundational assumption of our species.”

“Ideas! There is no occasion for them; all that class of ideas which can be available in such a case has a language of representative feelings.”

“Intuitive responses are responses which originate from joy.”

“All significant concepts of the modern theory of the state are secularized theological concepts not only because of their historical development - in which they were transferred from theology to the theory of the state, whereby, for example, the omnipotent god became the omnipotent lawgiver - but also because of their systematic structure, the recognition of which is necessary for a sociological consideration of these concepts. The exception in jurisprudence is analogous to the miracle in theology. Only by being aware of this analogy can we appreciate the manner in which the philosophical ideas of the state developed in the last centuries.”

“Toute intuition sans concept n'aboutit pasTout concept sans intuition est vide”
