“Oh! it is absurd to have a hard-and-fast rule about what one should read and what one shouldn't. More than half of modern culture depends on what one shouldn't read.”

“Ah! Happy they whose hearts can break
And peace of pardon win!
How else may man make straight his path
And cleanse his soul from sin?
How else but through a broken heart
May the Lord Christ enter in?”

“The truth is rarely pure and never simple. Modern life would be very tedious if it were either, and modern literature a complete impossibility!”

“Regulile stricte înalţă fortificaţii la adăpostul cărora minţile înguste crează satrapii. Stare de lucruri periculoasă când totul merge bine, dezastruoasă în momente de criză.”

“Tipul uman pe care-l preferăm în celălalt schiţează profilul propriei noastre inimi. Iubirea este un elan care se ivește din cea mai adâncă subterană a persoanei noastre și, ajungând la faţa vizibilă a vieţii, târăște aluvionar alge și scoici din abisul lăuntric. Un bun naturalist, studiind filiaţia acestor materiale, poate reconstrui fondul pelagic din care au fost smulse.”
― José Ortega y Gasset
