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. The image can not provide matter for a concept. By giving stability to the image, the concept would stifle its life.

Gaston Bachelard
Words are clamor-filled shells. There's many a story in the miniature of a single word!
Gaston Bachelard
Air is the very substance of our freedom, the substance of superhuman joy.... aerial joy is freedom.
Gaston Bachelard
