I don't believe in intuition. When you get sudden flashes of perception, it is just the brain working faster than usual. But you've been getting ready to know it for a long time, and when it comes, you feel you've known it always.

  • -- Katherine Anne Porter 凯瑟琳·安·波特

我不相信直觉。当你的知觉突然闪现时,那只是大脑比平时工作得更快。但你已经准备好了解它很长时间了,当它来临时,你觉得你一直都知道它。
