More quotes by Miguel de Unamuno
While men believe themselves to be seeking truth for its own sake, they are in fact seeking life in truth.
Miguel de Unamuno
Fascism is cured by reading, and racism is cured by traveling
Miguel de Unamuno
Man is perishing. That may be, and if it is nothingness that awaits us let us so act that it will be an unjust fate.
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
Was man made for science, or was science made for man?
Miguel de Unamuno
And killing time is perhaps the essence of comedy, just as the essence of tragedy is killing eternity.
Miguel de Unamuno
What is certain is that for thinking believers to-day, faith is, before all and above all, wishing that God may exist.
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
It is truer to say that martyrs create faith more than faith creates martyrs.
Miguel de Unamuno
Piensa el sentimiento, siente el pensamiento. (roughly translated, Think about the emotional and feel the intellectual)
Miguel de Unamuno
Only he who attempts the absurd is capable of achieving the impossible.
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
The only reactionaries are those who find themselves at home in the present.
Miguel de Unamuno
To fall into a habit is to begin to cease to be.
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
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
At times to be silent is to lie. You will win because you have enough brute force. But you will not convince. For to convince you need to persuade. And in order to persuade you would need what you lack: Reason and Right
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
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
Everything that exalts and expands consciousness is good, while that which depresses and diminishes it is evil.
Miguel de Unamuno
