Instinct

Trust your instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.

 Ralph Waldo Emerson

Instinct is intelligence incapable of self-consciousness.

 John Sterling

Retaliation is related to nature and instinct, not to law. Law, by definition, cannot obey the same rules as nature.


 Albert Camus

Two things control men's nature, instinct and experience.

Blaise Pascal

The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.

Carl Jung

It is impossible to overlook the extent to which civilization is built upon a renunciation of instinct.

 Sigmund Freud
