More quotes by Miguel de Unamuno
Sow the living part of yourselves in the furrow of life.
Miguel de Unamuno
There are people who are so full of common sense that they haven't the slightest cranny left for their own sense.
Miguel de Unamuno
To fall into a habit is to begin to cease to be.
Miguel de Unamuno

Miguel de Unamuno

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
Piensa el sentimiento, siente el pensamiento. (roughly translated, Think about the emotional and feel the intellectual)
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
From the subterranean ore of memory we extract the jeweled visions of our future.
Miguel de Unamuno
Use harms and even destroys beauty. The noblest function of an object is to be contemplated.
Miguel de Unamuno
We should try to be the parents of our future rather than the offspring of our past.
Miguel de Unamuno
The only reactionaries are those who find themselves at home in the present.
Miguel de Unamuno
