More quotes by Henri Bergson
To ease another's burden, help to carry it.
Henri Bergson
I cannot escape the objection that there is no state of mind, however simple, that does not change every moment
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
Some other faculty than the intellect is necessary for the apprehension of reality.
Henri Bergson
It is emotion that drives the intelligence forward in spite of obstacles.
Henri Bergson
In laughter we always find an unavowed intention to humiliate and consequently to correct our neighbour.
Henri Bergson
There is nothing in philosophy which could not be said in everyday language.
Henri Bergson
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
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
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
I believe I experience creativity at every moment of my life.
Henri Bergson
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
The major task of the twentieth century will be to explore the unconscious, to investigate the subsoil of the mind.
Henri Bergson
... divine love is not something belonging to God: it is God Himself.
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
Sex-appeal is the keynote of our whole civilization.
Henri Bergson
ACT as men of thought THINK as men of action.
Henri Bergson
And I also see how this body influences external images: it gives back movement to them.
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
The movement of the stream is distinct from the river bed, although it must adopt its winding course.
Henri Bergson
