Gaston Bachelard Soul Quotations

Reverie is not a mind vacuum. It is rather the gift of an hour which knows the plenitude of the soul.

Sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest

Happy is the man who knows or even the man who remembers those silent vigils where silence itself was the sign of the communion of souls!

It is through the intentionality of poetic imagination that the poet's soul discovers the opening of consciousness common to all true poetry.

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.

The reveries of two solitary souls prepare the sweetness of loving.
