Gaston Bachelard Quotes

«So, like a forgotten fire, a childhood can always flare up again within us.»
«Reverie is not a mind vacuum. It is rather the gift of an hour which knows the plenitude of the soul.»

And the words wander away, looking in the nooks and crannies of vocabulary for new company, bad company.»
«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.»
«A word is a bud attempting to become a twig. How can one not dream while writing? It is the pen which dreams. The blank page gives the right to dream.»
«To live life well is to express life poorly; if one expresses life too well, one is living it no longer.»
Author: Gaston Bachelard (Philosopher, Poet) | Keywords: poorly
«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.»
