If reality impacted directly ...

If reality impacted directly on our senses and our consciousness, if we could have direct communication between the material world and ourselves, art would be unnecessary.

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

Is it astonishing that, like ...

Is it astonishing that, like children trying to catch smoke by closing their hands, philosophers so often see the object they would grasp fly before them?

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

Realism is in the work when i...

Realism is in the work when idealism is in the soul, and it is only through idealism that we resume contact with reality.

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

All the living hold together, ...

All the living hold together, and all yield to the same tremendous push. The animal takes its stand on the plant, man bestrides animality, and the whole of humanity, in space and in time, is one immense army galloping beside and before and behind each of us in an overwhelming charge able to beat down every resistance and clear the most formidable obstacles, perhaps even death.

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

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.

Sex-appeal is the keynote of our whole civilization.

I believe I experience creativity at every moment of my life.

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

When it is said that an object...

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

There are manifold tones of me...

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

Genius is that which forces the inertia of humanity to learn.

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

Intuition is a method of feeli...

Intuition is a method of feeling one's way intellectually into the inner heart of a thing, in order to locate what is unique and inexpressible in it. If there is a way of grasping a reality in absolute rather than relative terms, of entering into it rather than taking up positions on it, of seizing hold of it without any translation or symbolism, then that way is metaphysics itself.

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

It is the very essence of inte...

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 118 quotes

ACT as men of thought; THINK a...

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

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

To drive out the darkness, bring in the light.

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

To ease another's burden, help...

To ease another's burden, help to carry it.

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

We are free when our actions e...

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

... divine love is not something belonging to God: it is God Himself.

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

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

Henri Bergson 118 quotes

An absolute can only be given ...

An absolute can only be given in an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis. We call intuition here the sympathy by which one is transported into the interior of an object in order to coincide with what there is unique andconsequently inexpressible in it. Analysis, on the contrary, is the operation which reduces the object to elements already known.
