Miguel de Unamuno

Miguel de Unamuno
Knowledge for the sake of knowledge! Truth for truth's sake! This is inhuman.
Miguel de Unamuno

Miguel de Unamuno
Only he who attempts the absurd is capable of achieving the impossible.
Miguel de Unamuno
Martyrs create faith, faith does not create martyrs.
Miguel de Unamuno
Science says: 'We must live,' and seeks the means of prolonging, increasing, facilitating and amplifying life, of making it tolerable and acceptable, wisdom says: 'We must die,' and seeks how to make us die well.
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
Only in solitude do we find ourselves and in finding ourselves, we find in ourselves all our brothers in solitude.
Miguel de Unamuno
If a person never contradicts himself, it must be that he says nothing.
