Annie Besant

Premonitions, presentiments, the sensing of unseen presences and many allied experiences are due to the activity of the astral body and its reaction on the physical; their ever-increasing frequency is merely the result of its evolution among educated people.

English Philosopher

Bayard Taylor

An enthusiastic desire of visiting the Old World haunted me from early childhood. I cherished a presentiment, amounting almost to belief, that I should one day behold the scenes, among which my fancy had so long wandered.

American Journalist

August Strindberg

Happiness consumes itself like a flame. It cannot burn for ever, it must go out, and the presentiment of its end destroys it at its very peak.

Swedish Dramatist

Dmitri Mendeleev

No law of nature, however general, has been established all at once; its recognition has always been preceded by many presentiments.

Russian Scientist

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Every known fact in natural science was divined by the presentiment of somebody, before it was actually verified.

American Philosopher

Presentiment usually suggests a negative or worrying intuition about the future.

Negative Intuition

A presentiment is not a supernatural or psychic ability but a deep, instinctive feeling.

Not Psychic

Presentiments are personal and subjective, not based on shared facts or visible signs.
