"The human being is also more than his or her
intellectual powers. Perhaps more crucial than
intelligence in the human firmament are
motivation, personality, emotions, and will. If
we are ever to obtain a comprehensive and fully
integrated picture of human beings, we need to
meld our insights about cognition with comparable
insights in respect to these other aspects of the
human being. Perhaps, indeed, a different view of
human nature will result from this activity of
synthesis." - Howard Gardner
