More quotes by Gaston Bachelard
Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event.
Gaston Bachelard
One must always maintain one's connection to the past and yet ceaselessly pull away from it.
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
We understand nature by resisting it.
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
The cleverer I am at miniaturizing the world, the better I possess it.
Gaston Bachelard
Our house is our corner of the world.
Gaston Bachelard
The night dreamer cannot articulate a cogito. The night dream is a dream without a dreamer.
Gaston Bachelard
To disappear into deep water or to disappear toward a far horizon, to become part of depth of infinity, such is the destiny of man that finds its image in the destiny of water.
Gaston Bachelard
Irony gives us, at little expense, the impression that we are experienced psychologists.
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
A special kind of beauty exists which is born in language, of language, and for language.
Gaston Bachelard
Childhood lasts all through life.
Gaston Bachelard
By listening to certain words as a child listens to the sea in a seashell, a word dreamer hears the murmur of a world of dreams.
Gaston Bachelard
Words are clamor-filled shells. There's many a story in the miniature of a single word!
Gaston Bachelard
Daydream transports the dreamer outside the immediate world to a world that bears the mark of infinity.
Gaston Bachelard
The reveries of two solitary souls prepare the sweetness of loving.
Gaston Bachelard
The subconscious is ceaselessly murmuring, and it is by listening to these murmurs that one hears its truth.
Gaston Bachelard
The great function of poetry is to give back to us the situations of our dreams.
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
