More quotes by 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
Any comparison diminishes the expressive qualities of the terms of the comparison.
Gaston Bachelard
Irony gives us, at little expense, the impression that we are experienced psychologists.
Gaston Bachelard
To go upstairs in the word house is to withdraw step by step while to go down to the cellar is to dream.
Gaston Bachelard
Childhood knows unhappiness through men. In solitude, it can relax its aches. When the human world leaves him in peace, the child feels like the son of the cosmos.
Gaston Bachelard
Written language must be considered as a particular psychic reality. The book is permanent it is an object in your field of vision. It speaks to you with a monotonous authority which even its author would not have. You are fairly obliged to read what is written.
Gaston Bachelard
To live life well is to express life poorly if one expresses life too well, one is living it no longer.
Gaston Bachelard
The philosophy of poetry must acknowledge that the poetic act has no past, at least no recent past, in which its preparation and appearance could be followed.
Gaston Bachelard
The cleverer I am at miniaturizing the world, the better I possess it.
Gaston Bachelard
Love is never finished expressing itself, and it expresses itself better the more poetically it is dreamed.
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
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
The words of the world want to make sentences.
Gaston Bachelard
Two half philosophers will probably never a whole metaphysician make.
Gaston Bachelard
The past of the soul is so distant! The soul does not live on the edge of time. It finds its rest in the universe imagined by reverie.
Gaston Bachelard
The subconscious is ceaselessly murmuring, and it is by listening to these murmurs that one hears its truth.
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
The image can only be studied through the image, by dreaming images as they gather in reverie. It is a non-sense to claim to study imagination objectively since one really receives the image only if he admires it. Already in comparing one image to another, one runs the risk of losing participation in its individuality.
Gaston Bachelard
I am alone so I dream of the being who has cured my solitude, who would be cured by solitudes. With its life, it brought me the idealizations of life, all the idealizations which give life a double, which lead life toward it summits, which make the dreamer too live by splitting.
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.
