More quotes by Miguel de Unamuno
Science teaches us, in effect, to submit our reason to the truth and to know and judge of things as they are-that is to say, as they themselves choose to be and not as we would have them to be.
Miguel de Unamuno
Science is a cemetary of dead ideas.
Miguel de Unamuno
Our life is a hope which is continually converting itself into memory and memory in its turn begets hope.
Miguel de Unamuno
A lot of good arguments are spoiled by some fool who knows what he is talking about.
Miguel de Unamuno
Is there anything more terrible than a call? It affords an occasion for the exchange of the most threadbare commonplaces. Calls and the theatre are the two great centers for the propagation of platitudes.
Miguel de Unamuno
All knowledge has an ultimate goal. Knowledge for the sake of knowledge is, say what you will, nothing but a dismal begging of the question.
Miguel de Unamuno
Only in solitude do we find ourselves and in finding ourselves, we find in ourselves all our brothers in solitude.
Miguel de Unamuno
The less we read, the more harmful it is what we read.
Miguel de Unamuno
There are people who are so full of common sense that they haven't the slightest cranny left for their own sense.
Miguel de Unamuno
And killing time is perhaps the essence of comedy, just as the essence of tragedy is killing eternity.
Miguel de Unamuno
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
My aim is to agitate and disturb people. I'm not selling bread I'm selling yeast.
Miguel de Unamuno
The supreme triumph of reason is to cast doubt upon its own validity.
Miguel de Unamuno
These terrible sociologists, who are the astrologers and alchemists of our twentieth century.
Miguel de Unamuno
Everything that exalts and expands consciousness is good, while that which depresses and diminishes it is evil.
Miguel de Unamuno
We should try to be the parents of our future rather than the offspring of our past.
Miguel de Unamuno
Isolation is the worst possible counselor.
Miguel de Unamuno
Use harms and even destroys beauty. The noblest function of an object is to be contemplated.
Miguel de Unamuno
Whenever a man talks he lies, and so far as he talks to himself - that is to say, so far as he thinks, knowing that he thinks - he lies to himself. The only truth in human life is that which is physiological. Speech - this thing that they call a social product - was made for lying.
Miguel de Unamuno
Those faults we do not have, do not bother us.
