I believe that the time given to refutation in philosophy is usually time lost. Of the many attacks directed by many thinkers against each other, what now remains? Nothing, or assuredly very little. That which counts and endures is the modicum of positive truth which each contributes. The true statement is, of itself, able to displace the erroneous idea, and becomes, without our having taken the trouble of refuting anyone, the best of refutations.More Henri Bergson quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]

The present contains nothing more than the past, and what is found in the effect was already in the cause.More Henri Bergson quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]

To perceive means to immobilize... we seize, in the act of perception, something which outruns perception itself.More Henri Bergson quotes [03/29/2018 05:03:36]

The only cure for vanity is laughter, and the only fault that is laughable is vanity.More Henri Bergson quotes [10/14/2011 12:10:51]
