Frank Herbert Quotes

The appeal of the wild for me is its unpredictability. You have to develop an awareness, react fast, be resourceful and come up with a plan and act on it.

Intuition is a suspension of logic due to impatience.

I've never had a plan, I've always done things from instinct.

Give your decisions, never your reasons; your decisions may be right, your reasons are sure to be wrong.

Sometimes you have to trust your guts and your instinct and improvise a little.

Every choice I've ever made has been dictated by a formless hunch rather than by strict logic.

Sometimes I'm wrong, sometimes not. But I'm an instinctual player.

I tend to make my most important decisions by following my instincts rather than any straightforward logic.

I never had a plan; I always follow my intuition.

I try to look up as quickly as possible, try to read the situation, but football is so quick, it's just a split-second, and then you decide.

The truth is that the right decision often can't be led with either head or heart exclusively.

From squalls, jibes, and other sudden calamities, I learned you don't always get to decide when you've got to make a decision.

I'm not a big planner; I decide by intuition.

I'm very impulsive and I always had a belief in instinct leading the way.

Every GM will tell you it's an instinct. It's an instinct to be patient, to react, or act, or not to do anything at all. It just comes. What I can say is you must have a plan and a goal and a way to do things. At the end of the day, it's an instinct. Sometimes it's good. Sometimes it's bad.

When you come through a business education, a lot of what they teach you is to make decisions through analysis, and logic and rationale, and I'm a big believer in that. But I also believe in the power of instinct. The truth is you're never going to have a perfect answer or view of how it is going to work.

You can have the best of intentions and think you're doing the right thing but you fall down when you're going against your own instinct.

Chess is a unique battlefield for human minds and computers - human intuition, our creativity, fantasy, our logic, versus the brute force of calculation and a very small portion of accumulated knowledge infused by other human beings. So in chess we can compare these two incompatible things and probably make projections into our future. Is there danger that the human mind will be overshadowed by the power of computers, or we can still survive?

Regulations are all very well for drill, but in the hour of danger they are no more use. You have to learn to think.

Instinct is the gift of experience. The first question you have to ask yourself is, 'On what basis am I making a judgment?' ... If you have no experience, then your instincts aren't any good.

I'm very specific about scripts that I like. I don't have a master plan or, like, a game plan. I don't have a chart that I'm following or anything like that. I'm very much playing it by ear. Certain things just happen and it's undeniable, you just go that way. But I don't have a specific path I'm following, I'm just playing it by ear.

The heart is the best logician.

Follow your instincts and live with the consequences.

Hunches are a kind of subterranean logic shorthand.

All our reasoning boils down to yielding to sentiment.
