More quotes by 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 emotion that drives the intelligence forward in spite of obstacles.
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
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
In laughter we always find an unavowed intention to humiliate and consequently to correct our neighbour.
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
In reality, the past is preserved by itself automatically.
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

Henri Bergson
The emotion felt by a man in the presence of nature certainly counts for something in the origin of religions.
Henri Bergson
There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation.
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
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
The universe... is a machine for the making of gods.
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
The motive power of democracy is love
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
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
Sex-appeal is the keynote of our whole civilization.
Henri Bergson
