More quotes by 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
There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation.
Henri Bergson
I cannot escape the objection that there is no state of mind, however simple, that does not change every moment
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
... divine love is not something belonging to God: it is God Himself.
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
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
The movement of the stream is distinct from the river bed, although it must adopt its winding course.
Henri Bergson
In reality, the past is preserved by itself automatically.
Henri Bergson
There is nothing in philosophy which could not be said in everyday language.
Henri Bergson
I believe I experience creativity at every moment of my life.
Henri Bergson
Homo sapiens, the only creature endowed with reason, is also the only creature to pin its existence on things unreasonable.
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
The idea of the future, pregnant with an infinity of possibilities, is thus more fruitful than the future itself, and this is why we find more charm in hope than in possession, in dreams than in reality.
Henri Bergson
There is nothing [that] disarms us like laughter.
Henri Bergson
The emotion felt by a man in the presence of nature certainly counts for something in the origin of religions.
Henri Bergson
The motive power of democracy is love
Henri Bergson
ACT as men of thought THINK as men of action.
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
