The great function of poetry is to give back to us the situations of our dreams.
Gaston Bachelard
Image
The night dreamer cannot articulate a cogito. The night dream is a dream without a dreamer.
Gaston Bachelard
Image
At all times and in all fields the explanation by fire is a rich explanation.
Gaston Bachelard
Image
The psychology of the alchemist is that of reveries trying to constitute themselves in experiments on the exterior world. A double vocabulary must be established between reverie and experiment. The exaltation of the names of substances is the preamble to experiments on the exalted substances.
Gaston Bachelard
Image
A book is always an emergence above everyday life. A book is expressed life and thus is an addition to life.
Gaston Bachelard
Image
The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest.
Gaston Bachelard
Image
Two half philosophers will probably never a whole metaphysician make.
Gaston Bachelard

The cleverer I am at miniaturizing the world, the better I possess it.

We comfort ourselves by reliving memories of protection
Gaston Bachelard
Image
There are reveries so deep, reveries which help us descend so deeply within ourselves that they rid us of our history. They liberate us from our name. These solitudes of today return us to the original solitudes.

If I were asked to name the chief benefit of the house, I should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.
Gaston Bachelard
Image
The human mind has claimed for water one of its highest values-the value of purity.
Gaston Bachelard
Image
Nobody knows that in reading we are re-living our temptations to be a poet. All readers who have a certain passion for reading, nurture and repress, through reading, the desire to become a writer.
Gaston Bachelard
Image
A pretext-not a cause-is sufficient for us to enter the solitary situation, the situation of the dreaming solitude. In this solitude, memories arrange themselves in tableaux. Decor takes precedence over drama. Sad memories take on at least the peace of melancholy.
Gaston Bachelard
Image
Of course, any simplification runs the risk of mutilating reality but it helps us establish perspectives.
Gaston Bachelard
Image
Our house is our corner of the world.
Gaston Bachelard
Image
Perhaps it is even a good idea to stir up a rivalry between conceptual and imaginative activity. In any case, one will encounter nothing but disappointments if he intends to make them cooperate. The image can not provide matter for a concept. By giving stability to the image, the concept would stifle its life.

The house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace
Gaston Bachelard
Image
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.
