"There is no greater joy than that of feeling oneself a creator. The triumph of life is expressed by creation"
"The present contains nothing more than the past, and what is found in the effect was already in the cause"
"The major task of the twentieth century will be to explore the unconscious, to investigate the subsoil of the mind"

"Life does not proceed by the association and addition of elements, but by dissociation and division"
"Instinct perfected is a faculty of using and even constructing organized instruments; intelligence perfected is the faculty of making and using unorganized instruments"
"In laughter we always find an unavowed intention to humiliate and consequently to correct our neighbour"
"In just the same way the thousands of successive positions of a runner are contracted into one sole symbolic attitude, which our eye perceives, which art reproduces, and which becomes for everyone the image of a man who runs"

"I see plainly how external images influence the image that I call my body: they transmit movement to it"
"I cannot escape the objection that there is no state of mind, however simple, that does not change every moment"
"Homo sapiens, the only creature endowed with reason, is also the only creature to pin its existence on things unreasonable"
"For life is tendency, and the essence of a tendency is to develop in the form of a sheaf, creating, by its very growth, divergent directions among which its impetus is divided"
"A situation is always comic if it participates simultaneously in two series of events which are absolutely independent of each other, and if it can be interpreted in two quite different meanings"
