More quotes by Henri Bergson

Henri Bergson
In reality, the past is preserved by itself automatically.
Henri Bergson

Henri Bergson

Henri Bergson
Sex-appeal is the keynote of our whole civilization.
Henri Bergson
Europe is overpopulated, the world will soon be in the same condition, and if the self-reproduction of man is not rationalized... we shall have war.
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
ACT as men of thought THINK as men of action.
Henri Bergson
The movement of the stream is distinct from the river bed, although it must adopt its winding course.
Henri Bergson
Some other faculty than the intellect is necessary for the apprehension of reality.
Henri Bergson
One can always reason with reason.
Henri Bergson
