“The really valuable thing is intuition.”

—  Albert Einstein

Although similar to many of Einstein&#x27;s comments about the importance of intuition and imagination, no sources for this can be found prior to The Psychology of Consciousness by Robert Evan Ornstein (1973), p. 68 http://books.google.com/books?id=0Yh9AAAAMAAJ&amp;q=%22really+valuable+thing+is+intuition%22#search_anchor, where there is no mention of where the quote was originally made. A number of early sources from the 1980s and 1990s attribute it to The Intuitive Edge by Philip Goldberg (1983), which also provides no original source. <br class="br">Disputed
