With morality we correct the mistakes of our instincts, and with love we correct the mistakes of our morals.
Jose Ortega y GassetOn the Bigotry of Culture: : it presented us with culture, with thought as something justified in itself, that is, which requires no justification but is valid by it's own essence, whatever its concrete employment and content maybe. Human life was to put itself at the service of culture because only thus would it become charged with value. From which it would follow that human life, our pure existence was, in itself, a mean and worthless thing.
Jose Ortega y GassetThe good is, like nature, an immense landscape in which man advances through centuries of exploration.
