Quote by Henri Bergson

An absolute can only be given in an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis.

Summary

This quote, attributed to Henri Bergson, explains the difference between intuition and analysis. It states that absolute understanding can only come through intuition, which allows one to connect with the unique and often inexpressible nature of an object. Analysis, on the other hand, breaks down the object into familiar elements. In essence, intuition enables a deep and holistic understanding, while analysis dissects and simplifies the object.
