You reminded me of a scene from the classic 80's TV series "Moonlighting", in which Maddie (Cybill Shepherd) and a female friend have been discussing the frustrations caused by men. David (Bruce Willis) walks in and asks, "So, what's the topic?"
Maddie answers, "You know, that same old subject that no one will ever understand."
To which David replies, "Logarithms?"

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
