Jose Ortega y Gasset

Love is that splendid triggering of human vitality the supreme activity which nature affords anyone for going out of himself toward someone else.

An 'unemployed' existence is a worse negation of life than death itself.

I am I plus my circumstances.

We cannot put off living until we are ready.

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.
