More quotes by Henri Bergson
The universe... is a machine for the making of gods.
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
It is the very essence of intelligence to coordinate means with a view to a remote end, and to undertake what it does not feel absolutely sure of carrying out.
Henri Bergson
Wherever anything lives, there is, open somewhere, a register in which time is being inscribed.
Henri Bergson
I believe I experience creativity at every moment of my life.
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
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
Some other faculty than the intellect is necessary for the apprehension of reality.
Henri Bergson
... divine love is not something belonging to God: it is God Himself.
Henri Bergson
There is nothing in philosophy which could not be said in everyday language.
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
The emotion felt by a man in the presence of nature certainly counts for something in the origin of religions.
Henri Bergson
It is emotion that drives the intelligence forward in spite of obstacles.
Henri Bergson
ACT as men of thought THINK as men of action.
Henri Bergson
There is nothing [that] disarms us like laughter.
Henri Bergson
The vital spirit. L'élan vital
Henri Bergson
I see plainly how external images influence the image that I call my body : they transmit movement to it.
Henri Bergson
We are free when our actions emanate from our total personality, when they express it, when they resemble it in the indefinable way a work of art sometimes does the artist.
Henri Bergson
To ease another's burden, help to carry it.
Henri Bergson
The movement of the stream is distinct from the river bed, although it must adopt its winding course.
Henri Bergson
