Was man made for science, or was science made for man?
Miguel de Unamuno
Knowledge for the sake of knowledge! Truth for truth's sake! This is inhuman.
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
My work...is to shatter the faith of men here, there, and everywhere, faith in affirmation, faith in negation, and faith in abstention from faith, and this for the sake of faith in faith itself.
Miguel de Unamuno
The pessimism that protests and defends itself cannot be truly said to be pessimism.
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
We should try to be the parents of our future rather than the offspring of our past.
Miguel de Unamuno

Miguel de Unamuno
Science is a cemetary of dead ideas.
Miguel de Unamuno
Everything that exalts and expands consciousness is good, while that which depresses and diminishes it is evil.
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
True science teaches, above all, to doubt and be ignorant.
Miguel de Unamuno
Sow the living part of yourselves in the furrow of life.
Miguel de Unamuno
The tears of anguish irritate and excite but those of repentance are the ones that wash.
Miguel de Unamuno
Cure yourself of the affliction of caring how you appear to others. Concern yourself only with how you appear before God, concern yourself only with the idea that God may have of you.
Miguel de Unamuno
To fall into a habit is to begin to cease to be.
Miguel de Unamuno
It is truer to say that martyrs create faith more than faith creates martyrs.
