More quotes by 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
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
ACT as men of thought THINK as men of action.
Henri Bergson
Some other faculty than the intellect is necessary for the apprehension of reality.
Henri Bergson
The major task of the twentieth century will be to explore the unconscious, to investigate the subsoil of the mind.
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
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
Wherever anything lives, there is, open somewhere, a register in which time is being inscribed.
Henri Bergson
In reality, the past is preserved by itself automatically.
Henri Bergson
The vital spirit. L'élan vital
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
The movement of the stream is distinct from the river bed, although it must adopt its winding course.
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
I see plainly how external images influence the image that I call my body : they transmit movement to it.
Henri Bergson
It is emotion that drives the intelligence forward in spite of obstacles.
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
To ease another's burden, help to carry it.
Henri Bergson
Sex-appeal is the keynote of our whole civilization.
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
Homo sapiens, the only creature endowed with reason, is also the only creature to pin its existence on things unreasonable.
Henri Bergson
