More quotes by Miguel de Unamuno
Anyone who in discussion relies upon authority uses, not his understanding, but rather his memory.
Miguel de Unamuno
Science is a cemetary of dead ideas.
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

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
Our life is a hope which is continually converting itself into memory and memory in its turn begets hope.
Miguel de Unamuno
It is truer to say that martyrs create faith more than faith creates martyrs.
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
Only in solitude do we find ourselves and in finding ourselves, we find in ourselves all our brothers in solitude.
Miguel de Unamuno
The truth is that reason is the enemy of life.
Miguel de Unamuno
The less we read, the more harmful it is what we read.
Miguel de Unamuno
We should try to be the parents of our future rather than the offspring of our past.
