Jose Ortega y Gasset Reality Quotations

Thinking is the desire to gain reality by means of ideas.

Men play at tragedy because they do not believe in the reality of the tragedy which is actually being staged in the civilised world

The masses think that is is easy to flee from reality, when it is the most difficult thing in the world.

tragedy in the theater opens our eyes so that we can discover and appreciate the heroic in reality.

There are, above all, times in which the human reality, always mobile, accelerates, and bursts into vertiginous speeds. Our time is such a one, for it is made of descent and fall.
