In an attempt to bring meaning to my work, I have been revisiting things that have inspired me in the past. One of those such things is a selection from Henri Bergson, a French philosopher, influential in the early 20th century, titled Philosophical Intuition.
Here are a few quotes that I find inspiring, (this first one is my favorite of all time):
"The mater and life which fill the world are are equally within us; the forces which work in all things we feel within ourselves; whatever may be the inner essence of what is and what is done, we are of that essence. Let us then go down into our own inner selves: the deeper the point we touch, the stronger will be the thrust which sends us back to the surface."
"...it is the essence of the philosophical method to demand that at many moments, on many points, the mind should take risks."
"Instead of a discontinuity of movements replacing one another in an infinitely divided time, it will preceive the continuous fluidity of real time which flows along, indivisible. "
"Let us on the contrary grasp ourselves afresh as we are, in a present which is thick, and furthermore, elastic, which we can stretch indefinitely backward by pushing the screen which masks us from ourselves farther and farther away."
