Famous quotes containing the words ortega y gasset, ortega y and/or ortega:

    Liberalism—it is well to recall this today—is the supreme form of generosity; it is the right which the majority concedes to minorities and hence it is the noblest cry that has ever resounded in this planet. It announces the determination to share existence with the enemy; more than that, with an enemy which is weak.
    —José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)

    We live at a time when man believes himself fabulously capable of creation, but he does not know what to create.
    —José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)

    The poet begins where the man ends. The man’s lot is to live his human life, the poet’s to invent what is nonexistent.
    —José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
