Chaos

Filed Under Gnostic Quotes | May 1, 2006

"Chaos is a name for any order that produces confusion in our minds." - George Santayana

"For life is at the start a chaos in which one is lost. The individual suspects this, but he is frightened of finding himself face to face with this terrible reality, and tries to cover it over with a curtain of fantasy, where everything is clear. It does not worry him that his ideas are not true; he uses them as trenches for the defense of his existence, as scarecrows to frighten away reality." - Jose Ortega Y Gasstet, The Revolt of the Masses, pub. A.D. 1930
