Jose Ortega y Gasset
  • An 'unemployed' existence is a worse negation of life than death itself.

  • Life is a series of collisions with the future it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be.

  • Life is an operation which is done in a forward direction. One lives toward the future, because to live consists inexorably in doing, in each individual life making itself.

  • We have need of history in its entirety, not to fall back into it, but to see if we can escape from it.

  • Life is a series of collisions with the future it is not the sum of what we have been, but what we yearn to be.
