I cannot escape the objection...

I cannot escape the objection that there is no state of mind, however simple, that does not change every moment.

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

The motive power of democracy...

The motive power of democracy is love.

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

We regard intelligence as man...

We regard intelligence as man's main characteristic and we know that there is no superiority which intelligence cannot confer on us, no inferiority for which it cannot compensate.

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

And I also see how this body ...

And I also see how this body influences external images: it gives back movement to them.

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

Sex appeal is the keynote of ...

Sex appeal is the keynote of our civilization.

The major task of the twentieth century will be to explore the unconscious, to investigate the subsoil of the mind.

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

There are manifold tones of mental life, or, in other words, our psychic life may be lived at different heights, now nearer to action, now further removed from it, according to the degree of our attention to life.

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

Men do not sufficiently reali...

Men do not sufficiently realize that their future is in their own hands. Theirs is the task of determining first of all whether they want to go on living or not. Theirs is the responsibility, then, for deciding if they want merely to live, or intend to make just the extra effort required for fulfilling, even on this refractory planet, the essential function of the universe, which is a machine for the making of gods.

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

In short, intelligence, consi...

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 118 quotes

Art has no other object than ...

Art has no other object than to set aside the symbols of practical utility, the generalities that are conventionally and socially accepted, everything in fact which masks reality from us, in order to set us face to face with reality itself.

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

Knowledge, in so far as it is...

Knowledge, in so far as it is directed to practical matters, has only to enumerate the principal possible attitudes of the thing towards us, as well as our best possible attitude towards it. Therein lies the ordinary function of ready-made concepts, those stations with which we mark out the path of becoming. But to seek to penetrate with them into the inmost nature of things, is to apply to the mobility of the real a method created in order to give stationary points of observation on it.

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

When it is said that an objec...

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 118 quotes

The emotion felt by a man in ...

The emotion felt by a man in the presence of nature certainly counts for something in the origin of religions.

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

We are free when our actions ...

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 118 quotes

I cannot escape the objection that there is no state of mind, however simple, that does not change every moment

To drive out the darkness, bring in the light.

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

Europe is overpopulated, the ...

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 118 quotes

ACT as men of thought; THINK ...

ACT as men of thought; THINK as men of action.

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

Laughter is, above all, a cor...

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 118 quotes

Action on the move creates it...

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.
