" "To sum up, whatever be the doctrine to which our reason assents, our imagination has a very clear-cut philosophy of its own: in every human form it sees the effort of a soul which is shaping matter, a soul which is infinitely supple and perpetually in motion, subject to no law of gravitation, for it is not the earth that attracts it. This soul imparts a portion of its winged lightness to the body it animates: the immateriality which thus passes into matter is what is called gracefulness. Matter, however, is obstinate and resists.

La sensatez consiste en saber recordar, de acuerdo, pero también y sobre todo en saber olvidar. La sensatez es el esfuerzo de una mente que se adapta y readapta sin cesar, cambiando de idea cuando cambia de objeto. Es una movilidad de la inteligencia que se ajusta con exactitud a la movilidad de las cosas. Es la moviente continuidad de nuestra atención a la vida.
