The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend. -Henri Bergson.

To perceive means to immobilize. We seize, in the act of perception, something which outruns perception itself.

You will obtain a vision of matter that is perhaps fatiguing for your imagination, but pure and stripped of what the requirements of life make you add to it in external perception.

When we make the cerebral state the beginning of an action, and in no sense the condition of a perception, we place the perceived images of things outside the image of our body, and thus replace perception within the things themselves.

An absolute can only be given in an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis.

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