Ayrton Senna Quotes

The unconscious is much smarter than the conscious.

I strongly believe that many of the best decisions are made on gut instinct.

Trust your hunches. They're usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level.

Writing songs and looking for ideas is like blinking my eyes. It's an involuntary muscle. I do it without thought.

I never make conscious decisions.

I just choose the scripts I want to work on. I don't know why. It's not something conscious or that I'm doing on purpose.

Most of my choices come about through some kind of intuition or instinct, and if I need to, I'll post-rationalize them, intellectually, afterwards. But generally, they come about just by feeling.

I heard that your subconscious is on the right side. I always shut my right eye when I play, or both eyes. I feel like you go to a deeper place in your subconscious, and you tell the stories that are more deeply within you.

Most of the time I'm really not aware of what I am doing. I'm just so locked into the moment.

A lot of times, my best games are when I'm not even thinking.

I think your subconscious knows far more than your conscious, so I trust it.

When I was 16, I didn't really know what intuition was as a word, even. It's one of those things you experience, but you don't really know what it is.

I'm not afraid of just cranking it out and seeing what comes out of my subconscious. Because I don't always know what I'm feeling. I do a lot of rewriting later. But that first blast feels like a spigot - like it's coming from somewhere else.

Let your monkey do it.

You will never be as smart as your subconscious.

We understand more than we know.

Most people don't realize that they feel something is wrong before they think something is wrong.

Our spontaneous action is always the best. You cannot, with your best deliberation and heed, come so close to any question as your spontaneous glance shall bring you.

First impressions are often signals from the deep that we should credit oftener than we do.

I do a lot of things intuitively. I'm not often consciously aware of what I'm doing. It's like in a dream: There's something going on that's powerful but you don't know exactly why.

We are all creatures of habit. We can do most things without even thinking about them; our bodies take charge and do them for us.

There is a certain point of unity within the self, and between the self and its world, certain complicity and magnetic mating, a certain harmony, that conscious mind and will cannot direct. Perhaps analysis and the separate mastery of each element are required before the instincts are ready to assume command, but only at first. Command by instinct is swifter, subtler, deeper, more accurate, more in touch with reality than command by conscious mind. The discovery takes one's breath away.

Dreams have always been my friend, full of information, full of warnings.

I believe that the subconscious always knows what is best. It is our conditional, vastly overrated rational mind which screws everything up.

Instinct leads, logic does but follow.
