It took me a while to find it, and in fact there are variations on the intuition/intellect thought you had. Einstein is fairly famous for a few of them

“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.”

Albert Einstein

I disagree that one is more important than the other. This, by the same guy is more to my liking.

“Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind.”

I think we have explored this in much more death since Einstein. Here’s a recent article I randomly pulled up on the Intuitionist Model. There are many studies on this. https://positivepsychology.com/johnathan-haidt/

“The image that I came up with for myself, as I marveled at my weakness, was that I was a rider on the back of an elephant. I’m holding the reins in my hands, and by pulling one way or the other I can tell the elephant to turn, to stop, or to go. I can direct things, but only when the elephant doesn’t have desires of his own. When the elephant really wants to do something, I’m no match for him.” -Jonathan Haidt in The Happiness Hypothesis (2006, p. 4)
