More quotes by Gaston Bachelard
Imagination is a tree. It has the integrative virtues of a tree. It is root and boughs. It lives between earth and sky. It lives in the earth and the wind. The imagined tree imperceptibly becomes a cosmological tree, the tree which epitomises a universe, which makes a universe.
Gaston Bachelard
To verify images kills them, and it is always more enriching to imagine than to experience.
Gaston Bachelard
Our house is our corner of the world.
Gaston Bachelard
It will always be a fact that the woman is the person one idealizes, also the person who wishes his idealization.
Gaston Bachelard
One must always maintain one's connection to the past and yet ceaselessly pull away from it.
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
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
Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event.
Gaston Bachelard
Words are clamor-filled shells. There's many a story in the miniature of a single word!
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
Childhood lasts all through life.
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
There are reveries so deep, reveries which help us descend so deeply within ourselves that they rid us of our history. They liberate us from our name. These solitudes of today return us to the original solitudes.
Gaston Bachelard
Perhaps it is even a good idea to stir up a rivalry between conceptual and imaginative activity. In any case, one will encounter nothing but disappointments if he intends to make them cooperate. The image can not provide matter for a concept. By giving stability to the image, the concept would stifle its life.
Gaston Bachelard
There is no original truth, only original error.
Gaston Bachelard
The night dreamer cannot articulate a cogito. The night dream is a dream without a dreamer.
Gaston Bachelard
The words of the world want to make sentences.
Gaston Bachelard
To feel most beautifully alive means to be reading something beautiful.
Gaston Bachelard
To go upstairs in the word house is to withdraw step by step while to go down to the cellar is to dream.
Gaston Bachelard
The house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace
