More quotes by Henri Bergson
The universe... is a machine for the making of gods.
Henri Bergson
Some other faculty than the intellect is necessary for the apprehension of reality.
Henri Bergson
There is nothing in philosophy which could not be said in everyday language.
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
In laughter we always find an unavowed intention to humiliate and consequently to correct our neighbour.
Henri Bergson
Homo sapiens, the only creature endowed with reason, is also the only creature to pin its existence on things unreasonable.
Henri Bergson
There is nothing [that] disarms us like laughter.
Henri Bergson

Henri Bergson

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
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
I cannot escape the objection that there is no state of mind, however simple, that does not change every moment
Henri Bergson
The vital spirit. L'élan vital
Henri Bergson
The major task of the twentieth century will be to explore the unconscious, to investigate the subsoil of the mind.
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
And I also see how this body influences external images: it gives back movement to them.
Henri Bergson
