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.

More quotes by Gaston Bachelard
The cleverer I am at miniaturizing the world, the better I possess it.
Gaston Bachelard
Nothing is forgotten in the processes of idealization. Reveries of idealization develop, not by letting oneself be taken in by memories, but by constantly dreaming the values of a being whom one would love. And that is the way a great dreamer dreams his double. His magnified double sustains him.
Gaston Bachelard
To verify images kills them, and it is always more enriching to imagine than to experience.
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
So, like a forgotten fire, a childhood can always flare up again within us.
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 philosophy of poetry must acknowledge that the poetic act has no past, at least no recent past, in which its preparation and appearance could be followed.
Gaston Bachelard
Two half philosophers will probably never a whole metaphysician make.
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
The subconscious is ceaselessly murmuring, and it is by listening to these murmurs that one hears its truth.
Gaston Bachelard
At all times and in all fields the explanation by fire is a rich explanation.
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
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
There is no original truth, only original error.
Gaston Bachelard
Thanks to his complex convictions, made strong with the forces of animus and anima, the alchemist believes he is seizing the soul of the world, participating in the soul of the world. Thus, from the world to the man, alchemy is a problem of souls.
Gaston Bachelard
We believe we can also show that words do not have exactly the same psychic weight depending on whether they belong to the language of reverie or to the language of daylight life-to rested language or language under surveillance-to the language of natural poetry or to the language hammered out by authoritarian prosodies.
Gaston Bachelard
We comfort ourselves by reliving memories of protection
Gaston Bachelard
When the image is new, the world is new.
Gaston Bachelard
Our house is our corner of the world.
Gaston Bachelard
Nobody knows that in reading we are re-living our temptations to be a poet. All readers who have a certain passion for reading, nurture and repress, through reading, the desire to become a writer.
Gaston Bachelard
