More quotes by Gaston Bachelard
One must always maintain one's connection to the past and yet ceaselessly pull away from it.
Gaston Bachelard
For a knowledge of intimacy, localization in the spaces of our intimacy is more urgent than determination of dates.
Gaston Bachelard
Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event.
Gaston Bachelard
It is through the intentionality of poetic imagination that the poet's soul discovers the opening of consciousness common to all true poetry.
Gaston Bachelard
Cosmic reveries separate us from project reveries. They situate us in a world and not in a society. The cosmic reverie possesses a sort of stability or tranquility. It helps us escape time. It is a state.
Gaston Bachelard
To verify images kills them, and it is always more enriching to imagine than to experience.
Gaston Bachelard
Of course, any simplification runs the risk of mutilating reality but it helps us establish perspectives.
Gaston Bachelard
The dream remains overloaded with the badly lived passions of daytime life. Solitude in the nocturnal dream is always a hostility. It is strange. It isn't really our solitude.
Gaston Bachelard
Through imagination, thanks to the subtleties of the irreality function, we re-enter the world of confidence, the world of the confident being, which is the proper world for reverie.
Gaston Bachelard
There are children who will leave a game to go and be bored in a corner of the garret. How often have I wished for the attic of my boredom when the complications of life made me lose the very germ of freedom!
Gaston Bachelard
Instead of looking for the dream in reverie, people should look for reverie in the dream. There are calm beaches in the midst of nightmares.
Gaston Bachelard
It will always be a fact that the woman is the person one idealizes, also the person who wishes his idealization.
Gaston Bachelard
The great function of poetry is to give back to us the situations of our dreams.
Gaston Bachelard
Reverie is commonly classified among the phenomena of psychic detente. It is lived out in a relaxed time which has no linking force. Since it functions with inattention, it is often without memory. It is a flight from out of the real that does not always find a consistent unreal world.
Gaston Bachelard
The night dreamer cannot articulate a cogito. The night dream is a dream without a dreamer.
Gaston Bachelard
The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest. The repose of the night does not belong to us. It is not the possession of our being. Sleep opens within us an inn for phantoms. In the morning we must sweep out the shadows.
Gaston Bachelard
For in the end, the irreality function functions as well in the face of man as in the face of the cosmos. What would we know of others if we did not imagine things?
Gaston Bachelard
By listening to certain words as a child listens to the sea in a seashell, a word dreamer hears the murmur of a world of dreams.
Gaston Bachelard
The reveries of two solitary souls prepare the sweetness of loving.
Gaston Bachelard
Irony gives us, at little expense, the impression that we are experienced psychologists.
