"Homo sapiens, the only creature endowed with reason, is also the only creature to pin its existence on things unreasonable"

This quote by Henri Bergson speaks with the distinct nature of humans and our capability to believe and factor. It recommends that while people are the only animals with the capacity for reason, we are also the only animals to count on things that are not based in factor. This might refer to our reliance on faith, superstitious notion, and intuition, which are all things that can not be proven or described by reason. Bergson is suggesting that human beings can both rational and irrational thought, and that both are necessary for our existence. He is also indicating that our reliance on irrationality is what makes us unique and sets us apart from other animals. This quote speaks to the complexity of human nature and our ability to believe and reason, while also relying on things that are not based in factor.
