More quotes by Gaston Bachelard
Two half philosophers will probably never a whole metaphysician make.
Gaston Bachelard
Words are clamor-filled shells. There's many a story in the miniature of a single word!
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
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
The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest.
Gaston Bachelard
The human mind has claimed for water one of its highest values-the value of purity.
Gaston Bachelard
What is the source of our first suffering? It lies in the fact that we hesitated to speak... It was born in the moment when we accumulated silent things within us.
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
Dreaming by the river, I dedicated my imagination to water, to clear, green water, the water that makes the meadows green.
Gaston Bachelard
Childhood lasts all through life.
Gaston Bachelard
A book is always an emergence above everyday life. A book is expressed life and thus is an addition to life.
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
Imagination is a tree. It has the integrative virtues of a tree. It is root and boughs. It lives between earth and sky. It lives in the earth and the wind. The imagined tree imperceptibly becomes a cosmological tree, the tree which epitomises a universe, which makes a universe.
Gaston Bachelard
The great function of poetry is to give back to us the situations of our dreams.
Gaston Bachelard
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
The characteristic of scientific progress is our knowing that we did not know.
Gaston Bachelard
Man is an imagining being.
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
So, like a forgotten fire, a childhood can always flare up again within us.
Gaston Bachelard
The metaphor is~ an origin, the origin of an image which acts directly, immediately.
Gaston Bachelard
