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
Childhood lasts all through life.
Gaston Bachelard
Irony gives us, at little expense, the impression that we are experienced psychologists.
Gaston Bachelard
One doesn't read poetry while thinking of other things.
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

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
Man is an imagining being.
Gaston Bachelard
So, like a forgotten fire, a childhood can always flare up again within us.
Gaston Bachelard
A book is always an emergence above everyday life. A book is expressed life and thus is an addition to life.
Gaston Bachelard
Through imagination, thanks to the subtleties of the irreality function, we re-enter the world of confidence, the world of the confident being, which is the proper world for 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
The night dreamer cannot articulate a cogito. The night dream is a dream without a dreamer.
Gaston Bachelard
To go upstairs in the word house is to withdraw step by step while to go down to the cellar is to dream.
Gaston Bachelard
Empirical description involves enslavement to the object by decreeing passivity on the part of the subject.
Gaston Bachelard
