More quotes by Miguel de Unamuno

Miguel de Unamuno
Martyrs create faith, faith does not create martyrs.
Miguel de Unamuno
Science is a cemetery of dead ideas, even though life may issue from them.
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

Miguel de Unamuno

Miguel de Unamuno

Miguel de Unamuno
Chemistry ought to be not for chemists alone.
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
Piensa el sentimiento, siente el pensamiento. (roughly translated, Think about the emotional and feel the intellectual)
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
We should try to be the parents of our future rather than the offspring of our past.
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
Dream abides it is the only things that abides vision abides.
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
The devil is an angel too.
Miguel de Unamuno
My aim is to agitate and disturb people. I'm not selling bread I'm selling yeast.
Miguel de Unamuno
Cure yourself of the inclination to bother about how you look to other people. Be concerned only . . . with the idea God has of you.
Miguel de Unamuno
Everything that exalts and expands consciousness is good, while that which depresses and diminishes it is evil.
Miguel de Unamuno
Our life is a hope which is continually converting itself into memory and memory in its turn begets hope.
Miguel de Unamuno
