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 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
Any comparison diminishes the expressive qualities of the terms of the comparison.
Gaston Bachelard
We understand nature by resisting it.
Gaston Bachelard
What action could bodies and substances have if they were not named in a further increase of dignity where common nouns become proper nouns?
Gaston Bachelard
Happy is the man who knows or even the man who remembers those silent vigils where silence itself was the sign of the communion of souls!
Gaston Bachelard
Words are clamor-filled shells. There's many a story in the miniature of a single word!
Gaston Bachelard
The cleverer I am at miniaturizing the world, the better I possess it.
Gaston Bachelard
