Gaston Bachelard
Two half philosophers will probably never a whole metaphysician make.
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.

Gaston Bachelard
A special kind of beauty exists which is born in language, of language, and for language.
Gaston Bachelard
We understand nature by resisting it.
