Henri Bergson Quotes About Reality

Quotes about: Reality

• Fortunately, some are born with spiritual immune systems that sooner or later give rejection to the illusory worldview grafted upon then from birth through social conditioning. They begin sensing that something is amiss, and start looking for answers.

Each step of the journey is made by following the heart instead of the crowd, and by choosing knowledge over veils of ignorance.
