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.

More quotes by Gaston Bachelard
The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest. The repose of the night does not belong to us. It is not the possession of our being. Sleep opens within us an inn for phantoms. In the morning we must sweep out the shadows.
Gaston Bachelard
In living off all the reflecting light furnished by poets, the I which dreams the reverie reveals itself not as poet but as poetizing I.
Gaston Bachelard
Daydream transports the dreamer outside the immediate world to a world that bears the mark of infinity.
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
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
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
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
Childhood lasts all through life.
Gaston Bachelard
The reveries of two solitary souls prepare the sweetness of loving.
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
Two half philosophers will probably never a whole metaphysician make.
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
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
The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest.
Gaston Bachelard
The poetic image exists apart from causality.
Gaston Bachelard
The cleverer I am at miniaturizing the world, the better I possess it.
Gaston Bachelard
To live life well is to express life poorly if one expresses life too well, one is living it no longer.
Gaston Bachelard
There is no original truth, only original error.
Gaston Bachelard
When the image is new, the world is new.
Gaston Bachelard
Air is the very substance of our freedom, the substance of superhuman joy.... aerial joy is freedom.
Gaston Bachelard
