Gaston Bachelard Quotes About Universe

Quotes about: Universe

• 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

  Wind, Sky, Roots

• The past of the soul is so distant! The soul does not live on the edge of time. It finds its rest in the universe imagined by reverie.

  Gaston Bachelard

  Past, Soul, Doe

• A universe comes to contribute to our happiness when reverie comes to accentuate our repose. You must tell the man who wants to dream well to begin by being happy. Then reverie plays out its veritable destiny; it becomes poetic reverie and by it, in it, everything becomes beautiful. If the dreamer had "the gift" he would turn his reverie into a work. And this work would be grandiose since the dreamed world is automatically grandiose.

  Gaston Bachelard

  Beautiful, Dream, Destiny

• The reverie we intend to study is poetic reverie. This is a reverie which poetry puts on the right track, the track an expanding consciousness follows. This reverie is written, or, at least, promises to be written. It is already facing the great universe of the blank page. Then images begin to compose and fall into place.
