Miguel de Unamuno
Was man made for science, or was science made for 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
To fall into a habit is to begin to cease to be.
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
