Cure yourself of the inclination to bother about how you look to other people. Be concerned only . . . with the idea God has of you.
Miguel de Unamuno
There is no tyranny in the world more hateful than that of ideas. Ideas bring ideophobia, and the consequence is that people begin to persecute their neighbors in the name of ideas. I loathe and detest all labels, and the only label that I could now tolerate would be that of ideoclast or idea breaker.
Miguel de Unamuno
Sometimes, to remain silent is to lie, since silence can be interpreted as assent.
Miguel de Unamuno
To fall into a habit is to begin to cease to be.
Miguel de Unamuno
We need God, not in order to understand the why, but in order to feel and sustain the ultimate wherefore, to give a meaning to the universe.
Miguel de Unamuno
It is truer to say that martyrs create faith more than faith creates martyrs.
Miguel de Unamuno
