entry on Bergson in Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia, at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

own universe of symbolic meaning that structures and shapes his perception of reality,
see Ernst Cassirer, An Essay on Man: An Introduction to a Philosophy of Human Culture
(New Haven: Yale University Press, 1944).

the TWA terminal was obsolete before it even opened. ‘‘It was designed for fleets of
propeller-driven Lockheed Constellations, but by the time it opened, the first jets,
the Comets and Boeing 707s, were in use, and the building had to be encrusted
with jet-blast deflectors.’’ Deyan Sudjic, 100 Mile City (London: Harper Collins,
1993).
