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.

More quotes by Gaston Bachelard
A clear conscience is, for me, an occupied conscience-never empty-the conscience of a man at work until his last breath.
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
Irony gives us, at little expense, the impression that we are experienced psychologists.
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
Our house is our corner of the world.
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 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
When the image is new, the world is new.
Gaston Bachelard
It is better to live in a state of impermanence than in one of finality.
Gaston Bachelard
The cleverer I am at miniaturizing the world, the better I possess it.
Gaston Bachelard
The human mind has claimed for water one of its highest values-the value of purity.
Gaston Bachelard
Two half philosophers will probably never a whole metaphysician make.
Gaston Bachelard
Happy is the man who knows or even the man who remembers those silent vigils where silence itself was the sign of the communion of souls!
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
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
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
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
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.
Gaston Bachelard
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.
Gaston Bachelard
Daydream transports the dreamer outside the immediate world to a world that bears the mark of infinity.
Gaston Bachelard
