A man is a man to the extent that he is a superman. A man should be defined by the sum of those tendencies which impel him to surpass the human condition.

More quotes by Gaston Bachelard
So, like a forgotten fire, a childhood can always flare up again within us.
Gaston Bachelard
By following the path of reverie-a constantly downhill path-consciousness relaxes and wanders-and consequently becomes clouded. So it is never the right time, when one is dreaming, to do phenomenology.
Gaston Bachelard
At all times and in all fields the explanation by fire is a rich explanation.
Gaston Bachelard
Empirical description involves enslavement to the object by decreeing passivity on the part of the subject.
Gaston Bachelard
To verify images kills them, and it is always more enriching to imagine than to experience.
Gaston Bachelard
Any comparison diminishes the expressive qualities of the terms of the comparison.
Gaston Bachelard
The house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace
Gaston Bachelard
Thanks to his complex convictions, made strong with the forces of animus and anima, the alchemist believes he is seizing the soul of the world, participating in the soul of the world. Thus, from the world to the man, alchemy is a problem of souls.
Gaston Bachelard
There is no original truth, only original error.
Gaston Bachelard
What action could bodies and substances have if they were not named in a further increase of dignity where common nouns become proper nouns?
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
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.
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
Nothing is forgotten in the processes of idealization. Reveries of idealization develop, not by letting oneself be taken in by memories, but by constantly dreaming the values of a being whom one would love. And that is the way a great dreamer dreams his double. His magnified double sustains him.
Gaston Bachelard
When the image is new, the world is new.
Gaston Bachelard
The characteristic of scientific progress is our knowing that we did not know.
Gaston Bachelard
The cleverer I am at miniaturizing the world, the better I possess it.
Gaston Bachelard
We comfort ourselves by reliving memories of protection
Gaston Bachelard
Dreaming by the river, I dedicated my imagination to water, to clear, green water, the water that makes the meadows green.
Gaston Bachelard
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
