" "De même que le talent du peintre se forme ou se déforme, en tout cas se modifie, sous l’influence même des oeuvres qu’il produit, ainsi chacun de nos états, en même temps qu’il sort de nous, modifie notre personne, étant la forme nouvelle que nous venons de nous donner.
On a donc raison de dire que ce que nous faisons dépend de ce que nous sommes ; mais il faut ajouter que nous sommes, dans une certaine mesure, ce que nous faisons, et que nous nous créons continuellement nous-mêmes. Cette création de soi par soi est d’autant plus complète, d’ailleurs, qu’on raisonne mieux sur ce qu’on fait.

Additional quotes by Henri Bergson
...we shall not dwell for the present on the effort to delve down to the depths of our being. If possible at all, it is exceptional: and it is on the surface, at the point where it inserts itself into the close-woven tissue of other exteriorised personalities, that our ego generally finds its point of attachment; its solidity lies in this solidarity.

Religion is to mysticism what popularization is to science. What the mystic finds waiting for him, then, is a humanity which has been prepared to listen to his message by other mystics invisible and present in the religion which is actually taught. Indeed his mysticism itself is imbued with this religion, for such was its starting point. His theology will generally conform to that of the theologians. His intelligence and his imagination will use the teachings of the theologians to express in words what he experiences, and in material images what he sees spiritually. And this he can do easily, since theology has tapped that very current whose source is the mystical. Thus his mysticism is served by religion, against the day when religion becomes enriched by his mysticism. This explains the primary mission which he feels to be entrusted to him, that of an intensifier of religious faith.
