Henri Bergson quotes
Henri Bergson was a French philosopher known for his influential ideas on time, consciousness, and creativity. His work challenged mechanistic views of reality and emphasized the importance of intuition and subjective experience. He became a prominent figure in both philosophy and literature, receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature. Here are 49 of his quotes:
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
The prestige of the Nobel Prize is due to many causes, but in particular to its twofold idealistic and international character: idealistic in that it has been designed for works of lofty inspiration; international in that it is awarded after the production of different countries has been minutely studied and the intellectual balance sheet of the whole world has been drawn up. Free from all other considerations and ignoring any but intellectual values, the judges have deliberately taken their place in what the philosophers have called a community of the mind.
