Miguel de Unamuno

Miguel de Unamuno
An idea does not pass from one language to another without change.
Miguel de Unamuno
Fascism is cured by reading, and racism is cured by traveling
Miguel de Unamuno
Art distills sensations and embodies it with enhanced meaning.
Miguel de Unamuno
Science is a cemetery of dead ideas, even though life may issue from them.
Miguel de Unamuno
Science is the most intimate school of resignation and humility, for it teaches us to bow before the seemingly most insignificant of facts.
Miguel de Unamuno
The devil is an angel too.
Miguel de Unamuno
Those faults we do not have, do not bother us.
