Philosophy Quote by José Ortega y Gasset — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The only thing that interests the physicist is finding out on what assumptions a framework of things can be constructed which will enable us to know how to use them mechanically. Physics, as I have said on another occasion, is the technique of techniques and the ars combinatoria for fabricating machines. It is a knowledge which has scarcely anything to do with comprehension.”

“On the Bigotry of Culture:”

“All names disappear. Children should be taught that in elementary school. But we're afraid to teach them.”

“Quando ouvimos os sinos, ouvimos aquilo que já trazemos em nós mesmos como modelo. Sou da opinião que não se deverá desprezar aquele que olhar atentamente para as manchas da parede, para os carvões sobre a grelha, para as nuvens, ou para a correnteza da água, descobrindo, assim, coisas maravilhosas. O génio do pintor há-de se apossar de todas essas coisas para criar composições diversas: luta de homens e de animais, paisagens, monstros, demónios e outras coisas fantásticas. Tudo, enfim, servirá para engrandecer o artista.”

“God has abandoned you. Fear does not serve you. Your heart has betrayed you. Only the music can guide you.”

“Love delayed is lust augmented.”

“Using your talent, hobby or profession in a way that makes you contribute with something good to this world is truly the way to go.”

“Too lazy to be ambitious,”
