More quotes by Henri Bergson

Henri Bergson
It is emotion that drives the intelligence forward in spite of obstacles.
Henri Bergson
The emotion felt by a man in the presence of nature certainly counts for something in the origin of religions.
Henri Bergson
Sex-appeal is the keynote of our whole civilization.
Henri Bergson
Instinct perfected is a faculty of using and even constructing organized instruments intelligence perfected is the faculty of making and using unorganized instruments.

Henri Bergson
The movement of the stream is distinct from the river bed, although it must adopt its winding course.
Henri Bergson
One can always reason with reason.
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
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
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
In short, intelligence, considered in what seems to be its original feature, is the faculty of manufacturing artificial objects, especially tools to make tools, and of indefinitely varying the manufacture.
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
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
... divine love is not something belonging to God: it is God Himself.
Henri Bergson
Homo sapiens, the only creature endowed with reason, is also the only creature to pin its existence on things unreasonable.
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
I believe I experience creativity at every moment of my life.
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 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
