More quotes by Henri Bergson
Intuition is a method of feeling one's way intellectually into the inner heart of a thing to locate what is unique and inexpressible in it.
Henri Bergson
I believe I experience creativity at every moment of my life.
Henri Bergson
When it is said that an object occupies a large space in the soul or even that it fills it entirely, we ought to understand by this simply that its image has altered the shade of a thousand perceptions or memories, and that in this sense it pervades them, although it does not itself come into view.
Henri Bergson
Wherever anything lives, there is, open somewhere, a register in which time is being inscribed.
Henri Bergson
The vital spirit. L'élan vital
Henri Bergson
Spirit borrows from matter the perceptions on which it feeds and restores them to matter in the form of movements which it has stamped with its own freedom.
Henri Bergson
Realism is in the work when idealism is in the soul, and it is only through idealism that we resume contact with reality.
Henri Bergson
There is nothing [that] disarms us like laughter.
Henri Bergson
There are manifold tones of mental life, or, in other words, our psychic life may be lived at different heights, now nearer to action, now further removed from it, according to the degree of our attention to life.
Henri Bergson
There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation.
Henri Bergson
The movement of the stream is distinct from the river bed, although it must adopt its winding course.
Henri Bergson
Laughter is, above all, a corrective. Being intended to humiliate, it must make a painful impression on the person against whom it is directed. By laughter, society avenges itself for the liberties taken with it. It would fail in its object if it bore the stamp of sympathy or kindness.
Henri Bergson
Action on the move creates its own route, creates to a very great extent the conditions under which it is to be fulfilled and thus baffles all calculation.
Henri Bergson
You will obtain a vision of matter that is perhaps fatiguing for your imagination, but pure and stripped of what the requirements of life make you add to it in external perception.
Henri Bergson
It is emotion that drives the intelligence forward in spite of obstacles.
Henri Bergson
It is of man's essence to create materially and morally, to fabricate things and to fabricate himself. Homo faber is the definition I propose ... Homo faber, Homo sapiens, I pay my respects to both, for they tend to merge.
Henri Bergson
Sex-appeal is the keynote of our whole civilization.
Henri Bergson
I see plainly how external images influence the image that I call my body : they transmit movement to it.
Henri Bergson
The idea of the future, pregnant with an infinity of possibilities, is thus more fruitful than the future itself, and this is why we find more charm in hope than in possession, in dreams than in reality.
Henri Bergson
To ease another's burden, help to carry it.
Henri Bergson
