Jose Ortega y Gasset Quotes:
Ocupation: Philosopher
Life: May 9, 1883 - October 18, 1955
Birthday: May 9
Death: October 18
The surrealist thinks he has outstripped the whole of literary history when he has written (here a word that there is no need to write) where others have written "jasmines, swans and fauns." But what he has really done has been simply to bring to light another form of rhetoric which hitherto lay hidden in the latrines.
