Jose Ortega Y Gasset Quotes

Desiring Something Is, Without Doubt, A Move Toward Possession Of That Something ("possession" Meaning That In Some Way Or Other The Object Should Enter Our Orbit And Become Part Of Us). For This Reason, Desire Automatically Dies When It Is Fulfilled; It Ends With Satisfaction. Love, On The Other Hand, Is Eternally Unsatisfied. Desire Has A Passive Character; When I Desire Something, What I Actually Desire Is That The Object Come To Me. Being The Center Of Gravity, I Await Things To Fall Down Before Me. Love ... Is The Exact Reverse Of Desire, For Love Is All Activity. Instead Of The Object Coming To Me, It Is I Who Go To The Object And Become Part Of It.
