Image
In laughter we always find an unavowed intention to humiliate and consequently to correct our neighbour.
Henri Bergson
Image
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
Image
In reality, the past is preserved by itself automatically.
Henri Bergson
Image
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
Image
Laughter appears to stand in need of an echo, Listen to it carefully: it is not an articulate, clear, well-defined sound it is something which would fain be prolonged by reverberating from one to another, something beginning with a crash, to continue in successive rumblings, like thunder in a mountain.
Henri Bergson
Image
To ease another's burden, help to carry it.
Henri Bergson

Henri Bergson
Image
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
Image
A situation is always comic if it participates simultaneously in two series of events which are absolutely independent of each other, and if it can be interpreted in two quite different meanings.
Henri Bergson
Image
ACT as men of thought THINK as men of action.
Henri Bergson
Image
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
Image
There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation.
Henri Bergson
Image
The movement of the stream is distinct from the river bed, although it must adopt its winding course.
Henri Bergson
Image
There is nothing in philosophy which could not be said in everyday language.
Henri Bergson
Image
I believe I experience creativity at every moment of my life.
Henri Bergson
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Homo sapiens, the only creature endowed with reason, is also the only creature to pin its existence on things unreasonable.
Henri Bergson
Image
One can always reason with reason.
Henri Bergson
