Quote by Gaston Bachelard
One must always maintain ones connection to the past and yet cease

One must always maintain ones connection to the past and yet ceaselessly pull away from it. To remain in touch with the past requires a love of memory. To remain in touch with the past requires a constant imaginative effort. – Gaston Bachelard
