Henri Bergson: Mind

“I cannot escape the objection that there is no state of mind, however simple, that does not change every moment.”

Henri Bergson book An Introduction to Metaphysics

“The eyes see only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.”

“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.”

Henri Bergson
