Persistent Object

Famous quotes containing the words persistent and/or object:

“The smallest flower is a thought, a life answering to some feature of the Great Whole, of whom they have a persistent intuition.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

“An absolute can only be given in an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis. We call intuition here the sympathy by which one is transported into the interior of an object in order to coincide with what there is unique and consequently inexpressible in it. Analysis, on the contrary, is the operation which reduces the object to elements already known.”
—Henri Bergson (1859–1941)
