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 Quotes)
Ideas are refined and multiplied in the commerce of minds. In their splendor, images effect a very simple communion of souls (Gaston Bachelard Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Poetry is one of the destinies of speech... One would say that the poetic image, in its newness, opens a future to language (Gaston Bachelard Quotes)
A special kind of beauty exists which is born in language, of language, and for language (Gaston Bachelard Quotes)
It is not a question of observation which propels mankind forward as if toward a looking glass of great magnitude; it is an instance of aggrandized reflection that insinuates the human psyche to the inhuman (Gaston Bachelard Quotes)
All knowledge is in response to a question. If there were no question, there would be no scientific knowledge. Nothing proceeds from itself (Gaston Bachelard Quotes)
Dreaming by the river, I dedicated my imagination to water, to clear, green water, the water that makes the meadows green (Gaston Bachelard Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Every corner in a house, every angle in a room, every inch of secluded space in which we like to hide, or withdraw into ourselves, is a symbol of solitude for the imagination; that is to say, it is the germ of a room, or of a house (Gaston Bachelard Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Instead of looking for the dream in reverie, people should look for reverie in the dream. There are calm beaches in the midst of nightmares (Gaston Bachelard Quotes)
The night dreamer cannot articulate a cogito. The night dream is a dream without a dreamer (Gaston Bachelard Quotes)
How is it possible not to feel that there is communication between our solitude as a dreamer and the solitudes of childhood? And it is no accident that, in a tranquil reverie, we often follow the slope which returns us to our childhood solitudes (Gaston Bachelard Quotes)
By listening to certain words as a child listens to the sea in a seashell, a word dreamer hears the murmur of a world of dreams (Gaston Bachelard Quotes)
The dream remains overloaded with the badly lived passions of daytime life. Solitude in the nocturnal dream is always a hostility. It is strange. It isn’t really our solitude (Gaston Bachelard Quotes)
A book is always an emergence above everyday life. A book is expressed life and thus is an addition to life (Gaston Bachelard Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
