When we make the cerebral state the beginning of an action, and in no sense the condition of a perception, we place the perceived images of things outside the image of our body, and thus replace perception within the things themselves.

Intuition is a method of feeling one's way intellectually into the inner heart of a thing to locate what is unique and inexpressible in it.

Spirit borrows from matter the perceptions on which it feeds and restores them to matter in the form of movements which it has stamped with its own freedom.

I see plainly how external images influence the image that I call my body : they transmit movement to it.

The motive power of democracy is love

It is emotion that drives the intelligence forward in spite of obstacles.

I believe I experience creativity at every moment of my life.
