More quotes by 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
A clear conscience is, for me, an occupied conscience-never empty-the conscience of a man at work until his last breath.
Gaston Bachelard
One must always maintain one's connection to the past and yet ceaselessly pull away from it.
Gaston Bachelard
It is a poor reverie which invites a nap. One must even wonder whether, in this failing asleep, the subconscious itself does not undergo a decline in being.
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
The poetic image exists apart from causality.
Gaston Bachelard
Childhood lasts all through life.
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
Written language must be considered as a particular psychic reality. The book is permanent it is an object in your field of vision. It speaks to you with a monotonous authority which even its author would not have. You are fairly obliged to read what is written.
Gaston Bachelard
Air is the very substance of our freedom, the substance of superhuman joy.... aerial joy is freedom.
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
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
Why should the actions of the imagination not be as real as those of perception?
Gaston Bachelard
For in the end, the irreality function functions as well in the face of man as in the face of the cosmos. What would we know of others if we did not imagine things?
Gaston Bachelard
Man is an imagining being.
Gaston Bachelard
The night dreamer cannot articulate a cogito. The night dream is a dream without a dreamer.
Gaston Bachelard
There is no original truth, only original error.
Gaston Bachelard
Words are clamor-filled shells. There's many a story in the miniature of a single word!
Gaston Bachelard
We understand nature by resisting it.
Gaston Bachelard
Love is never finished expressing itself, and it expresses itself better the more poetically it is dreamed.
Gaston Bachelard
