Bergson agrees that change does actually take place but not as a transition between abstractions such as "past" and "present." We think that "past" and "present" must be real facts because we do not realize clearly how these notions have been arrived at.
Here's a young lady to be lecturing her elders! Silly notions, indeed! They are in your head, it seems. And let me tell you, Molly, you are too young to let your mind be running on lovers. Molly had been once or twice called saucy and impertinent, and certainly a little sauciness came out now. 'I never said what the "silly notion" was, Miss Browning; did I now, Miss Phoebe?
But when a young man has ever so much a year for sitting in a big room down at Whitehall, and reading a newspaper with his feet up on a chair, I don't think it honest, whether he's a Parliament man or whether he ain't." Whence Mr. Bunce had got his notions as to the way in which officials at Whitehall pass their time, I cannot say; but his notions are very common notions.
When she got her tongue, she stormed out, "Go about your business, you puppy, or I will take a stick to you!" I could not speak, I was so scared. I knew that with his notions about the human race Satan would consider it a matter of no consequence to strike her dead, there being "plenty more"; but my tongue stood still, I could give her no warning.
It's a fine thing to be ambitious. But don't let reading about George Washington give you notions that can't come to anything." Abe threw back his shoulders. "I aim to study and get ready and then the chance will come." He lifted his battered straw hat, and started down the path toward the field. He walked with dignity. Elizabeth had not realized that he was so tall.
After years of ridicule and unpopularity, she hardly knew what to make of all this, but she accepted it with happiness as a tribute to her beloved cause. Many who had been critical and wary of her newfangled notions began to reverse their opinions after they saw her and heard her words of good common sense.
By little and little his first notions had expanded, till what had been meant to be only neat and elegant now embraced the costly and magnificent. Artificers accustomed to /dejeunes dansants/ came all the way from London to assist, to direct, to create.
"Ah! there is the difficulty: that is where that little enthusiasm of Hope's comes in. I have a great respect for him; but I own I should like to see him a little more practical." "I really am pleased to hear you say so. It is just what I think; and I always fancied you did not agree with me. It really puts me almost out of patience to hear him speak of Mr Walcot encouraging Sydney in his notions!
Would they quite realize who you were?" "What could that possibly matter? wondered John, eyes blanker still. "I could conceive occasions in which it might matter furiously," said she. "Foreigners can't with half an eye distinguish amongst us, as we ourselves can; and Austrians have such oddly exalted notions. You wouldn't like to be mistaken for Mr. Snooks?"
Hence they may be made capable of intrigue, hypocrisy, and deceit." "Prohibitions, again, they believe, except they be well founded, may confound the notions of children on the subject of morality; for if they are forbidden to do what they see worthy and enlightened persons do, they may never know where to fix the boundaries between vice and virtue."
