Miguel de Unamuno
Martyrs create faith, faith does not create martyrs.
Miguel de Unamuno

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
The truth is that reason is the enemy of life.
Miguel de Unamuno

Miguel de Unamuno
Anyone who in discussion relies upon authority uses, not his understanding, but rather his memory.
Miguel de Unamuno

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

Miguel de Unamuno
Sometimes, to remain silent is to lie, since silence can be interpreted as assent.
Miguel de Unamuno
A man does not die of love or his liver or even of old age he dies of being a man.
Miguel de Unamuno
It is not usually our ideas that make us optimistic or pessimistic, but it is our optimism or pessimism of physiological or pathological origin that makes our ideas.
Miguel de Unamuno
Knowledge for the sake of knowledge! Truth for truth's sake! This is inhuman.
Miguel de Unamuno
The less we read, the more harmful it is what we read.
Miguel de Unamuno
Everything that exalts and expands consciousness is good, while that which depresses and diminishes it is evil.
Miguel de Unamuno
While men believe themselves to be seeking truth for its own sake, they are in fact seeking life in truth.
