Some other faculty than the intellect is necessary for the apprehension of reality.

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.

It is the very essence of intelligence to coordinate means with a view to a remote end, and to undertake what it does not feel absolutely sure of carrying out.

An absolute can only be given in an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis. We call intuition here the sympathy by which one is transported into the interior of an object in order to coincide with what there is unique andconsequently inexpressible in it. Analysis, on the contrary, is the operation which reduces the object to elements already known.

To ease another's burden, help to carry it.

The major task of the twentieth century will be to explore the unconscious, to investigate the subsoil of the mind.

There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation.
