To perceive means to immobilize. To say this is to say that we seize, in the act of perception, something which outruns perception itself.
Henri BergsonIt is with our entire past ... that we desire, will and act ... from this survival of the past it follows that consciousness cannot go through the same state twice. The circumstances may still be the same, but they will act no longer on the same person ... that is why our duration is irreversible.
Henri Bergson
