Other quotes by Henri Bergson

The question is precisely to know whether the past has ceased to exist, or ceased to be useful.

- Henri Bergson

Present Thought

In its entirety, probably, it follows us at every instant; all that we have felt, thought and willed from our earliest infancy is there, leaning over the present which is about to join it, pressing against the portals of consciousness that would fain leave it outside.

- Henri Bergson

Fortunately, some are born with spiritual immune systems that sooner or later give rejection to the illusory worldview grafted upon then from birth through social conditioning. They begin sensing that something is amiss, and start looking for answers. Inner knowledge and anomalous outer experiences show them a side of reality others are oblivious to, and so begins the journey of awakening. Each step of the journey is made by following the heart instead of the crowd, and by choosing knowledge over veils of ignorance.

- Henri Bergson

Change

To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly.

Genius Humanity

- Henri Bergson
