More From Jose Ortega Y Gasset

From the results so far obtained it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the long-range atoms arising from collision of alpha particles with nitrogen are not nitrogen atoms but probably atoms of hydrogen, or atoms of mass 2. if this be the case, we must conclude that the nitrogen atom is disintegrated under the intense forces developed in a close collision with a swift alpha particle, and that the hydrogen atom which is liberated formed a constituent part of the nitrogen nucleus.
Hydrogen Atom Long Atoms
Are the atoms of the dextroacid (tartaric) grouped in the spirals of a right-hand helix or situated at the angles of an irregular tetrahedron, or arranged in such or such particular unsymmetrical fashion? we are unable to reply to these questions. but there can be no reason for doubting that the grouping of the atoms has an unsymmetrical arrangement with a non-superimposable image. it is not less certain that the atoms of the laevo-acid realize precisely an unsymmetrical arrangement of the inverse of the above.

Thus will the fondest dream of phallic science be realized: a pristine new planet populated entirely by little boy clones of great scientific entrepreneurs free to smash atoms, accelerate particles, or, if they are so moved, build pyramids -- without any social relevance or human responsibility at all.
Dream Responsibility Science

The confidence in the unlimited power of science is only too often based on a false belief that the scientific method consists in the application of a ready-made technique, or in imitating the form rather than the substance of scientific procedure, as if one needed only to follow some cooking recipes to solve all social problems. it sometimes almost seems as if the techniques of science were more easily learnt than the thinking that shows us what the problems are and how to approach them.
Thinking Cooking Substance
If any man dared to translate all that is in his heart, to put down what is really his experience, what is truly his truth, i think then the world would go to smash, that it would be blown to smithereens and no god, no accident, no will could ever again assemble the pieces, the atoms, the indestructible elements that have gone to make up the world.

Similar Quotes
My heart is tuned to sorrow, and the strings vibrate most readily to minor chords, searching and sad; my mind is stuffed with words which voice the passion and the ache of things: illusions beating with their baffled wings against the walls of circumstance.

It is very hard to stay alive just for your own sake. it is very hard to stare into day after day without another familiar face staring back. it turns your heart into a purposeless muscle.
