More quotes by 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
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
Cosmic reveries separate us from project reveries. They situate us in a world and not in a society. The cosmic reverie possesses a sort of stability or tranquility. It helps us escape time. It is a state.
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
Love is never finished expressing itself, and it expresses itself better the more poetically it is dreamed.
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
There is no original truth, only original error.
Gaston Bachelard
Air is the very substance of our freedom, the substance of superhuman joy.... aerial joy is freedom.
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
The reveries of two solitary souls prepare the sweetness of loving.
Gaston Bachelard
So, like a forgotten fire, a childhood can always flare up again within us.
Gaston Bachelard
Why should the actions of the imagination not be as real as those of perception?
Gaston Bachelard
One must always maintain one's connection to the past and yet ceaselessly pull away from it.
Gaston Bachelard
The poetic image exists apart from causality.
Gaston Bachelard
It is a poor reverie which invites a nap. One must even wonder whether, in this failing asleep, the subconscious itself does not undergo a decline in being.
Gaston Bachelard
Man is an imagining being.
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 subconscious is ceaselessly murmuring, and it is by listening to these murmurs that one hears its truth.
Gaston Bachelard
Childhood lasts all through life. It returns to animate broad sections of adult life... Poets will help us to find this living childhood within us, this permanent, durable immobile world.
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
