More quotes by 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
The night dreamer cannot articulate a cogito. The night dream is a dream without a dreamer.
Gaston Bachelard
A book is always an emergence above everyday life. A book is expressed life and thus is an addition to life.
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
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
The poetic image exists apart from causality.
Gaston Bachelard
We understand nature by resisting it.
Gaston Bachelard
One doesn't read poetry while thinking of other things.

A clear conscience is, for me, an occupied conscience-never empty-the conscience of a man at work until his last breath.
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 words of the world want to make sentences.
Gaston Bachelard
Air is the very substance of our freedom, the substance of superhuman joy.... aerial joy is freedom.
Gaston Bachelard

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
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
There are children who will leave a game to go and be bored in a corner of the garret. How often have I wished for the attic of my boredom when the complications of life made me lose the very germ of freedom!
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
The human mind has claimed for water one of its highest values-the value of purity.
Gaston Bachelard
A pretext-not a cause-is sufficient for us to enter the solitary situation, the situation of the dreaming solitude. In this solitude, memories arrange themselves in tableaux. Decor takes precedence over drama. Sad memories take on at least the peace of melancholy.
