Miguel de Unamuno
The tears of anguish irritate and excite but those of repentance are the ones that wash.
Miguel de Unamuno
The pessimism that protests and defends itself cannot be truly said to be pessimism.
Miguel de Unamuno
A man does not die of love or his liver or even of old age he dies of being a man.
Miguel de Unamuno

Miguel de Unamuno
Only he who attempts the absurd is capable of achieving the impossible.
Miguel de Unamuno

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

Miguel de Unamuno
Science is a cemetary of dead ideas.
Miguel de Unamuno
True science teaches, above all, to doubt and be ignorant.
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
Martyrs create faith, faith does not create martyrs.
Miguel de Unamuno
The chiefest sanctity of a temple is that it is a place to which men go to weep in common.
Miguel de Unamuno

Miguel de Unamuno
Chemistry ought to be not for chemists alone.
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
All knowledge has an ultimate goal. Knowledge for the sake of knowledge is, say what you will, nothing but a dismal begging of the question.
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
