"There is also his subconscious mind, his brilliant and seemingly effortless hunches. His judgements come forth spontaneously like lightning, with no supporting brief of argument. He follows his own subconscious with blind faith but insists that to have a hunch, you must first have all the facts at your command, and your intelligence must be working at full speed. Then suddenly and without conscious effort you think of a solution which is really based on facts, but is not achieved by deliberate cerebrations. With it comes an unexampled feeling of well-being."--author unknown
