More From Gaston Bachelard
- "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 special kind of beauty exists which is born in language, of language, and for language."
- "Literary imagination is an aesthetic object offered by a writer to a lover of books."
