Gaston Bachelard
Image
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

One must always maintain one's connection to the past and yet ceaselessly pull away from it.
Gaston Bachelard
Image
At all times and in all fields the explanation by fire is a rich explanation.
