“A psychology of a mind in action is automatically the psychology of an exceptional mind, of a mind tempted by the exception, the new image grafted onto the old. The imagination invents more than objects and dramas—it invents a new life, a new spirit; it opens eyes which hold new types of visions. The imagination will only see if it has “visions” and will have visions if reveries educate it before experiences do, and if experiences follow as tokens of reveries.”
Gaston Bachelard in Water and dreams: an essay on the imagination of matter
