Lord of All Things, Yet Not

“We live at a time when man believes himself fabulously capable of creation, but does not know what to create. Lord of all things, he is not lord of himself.”

José Ortega y Gasset (May 1883 – October 1955)

(excerpt from The Revolt of the Masses, 1930)

This post cribbed straight from The Rooted Man.
