More quotes by Gaston Bachelard
Childhood knows unhappiness through men. In solitude, it can relax its aches. When the human world leaves him in peace, the child feels like the son of the cosmos.
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
There is no original truth, only original error.
Gaston Bachelard

Gaston Bachelard
The image can only be studied through the image, by dreaming images as they gather in reverie. It is a non-sense to claim to study imagination objectively since one really receives the image only if he admires it. Already in comparing one image to another, one runs the risk of losing participation in its individuality.
Gaston Bachelard

Gaston Bachelard
If I were asked to name the chief benefit of the house, I should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.
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
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
To feel most beautifully alive means to be reading something beautiful.
Gaston Bachelard
Daydream transports the dreamer outside the immediate world to a world that bears the mark of infinity.
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
A special kind of beauty exists which is born in language, of language, and for language.
Gaston Bachelard
So, like a forgotten fire, a childhood can always flare up again within us.
Gaston Bachelard
Man is an imagining being.
