More quotes by 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
There is nothing [that] disarms us like laughter.
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
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
Wherever anything lives, there is, open somewhere, a register in which time is being inscribed.
Henri Bergson
I see plainly how external images influence the image that I call my body : they transmit movement to it.
Henri Bergson
To ease another's burden, help to carry it.
Henri Bergson
The movement of the stream is distinct from the river bed, although it must adopt its winding course.
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 no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation.
Henri Bergson
The universe... is a machine for the making of gods.
Henri Bergson
In laughter we always find an unavowed intention to humiliate and consequently to correct our neighbour.
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
Sex-appeal is the keynote of our whole civilization.
Henri Bergson
In reality, the past is preserved by itself automatically.
Henri Bergson
I believe I experience creativity at every moment of my life.
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
Some other faculty than the intellect is necessary for the apprehension of reality.
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
