More quotes by George Santayana

George Santayana

George Santayana

George Santayana
Even under the most favorable circumstances no mortal can be asked to seize the truth in its wholeness or at its center.
George Santayana
Nothing is inherently and invincibly young except spirit. And spirit can enter a human being perhaps better in the quiet of old age and dwell there more undisturbed than in the turmoil of adventure.
George Santayana
Beautiful things, when taste is formed, are obviously and unaccountably beautiful.
George Santayana
Facts are all accidents. They all might have been different. They all may become different. They all may collapse altogether.
George Santayana
