Our laughter is always the laughter of a group.

Spirit borrows from matter the perceptions on which it feeds and restores them to matter in the form of movements which it has stamped with its own freedom.

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.

It seems that laughter needs an echo.

To perceive means to immobilize... we seize, in the act of perception, something which outruns perception itself.

I see plainly how external images influence the image that I call my body: they transmit movement to it.

Sex appeal is the keynote of our civilization.

And I also see how this body influences external images: it gives back movement to them.

The only cure for vanity is laughter, and the only fault that is laughable is vanity.
