More quotes by Miguel de Unamuno

Miguel de Unamuno
Man habitually sacrifices his life to his purse, but he sacrifices his purse to his vanity.
Miguel de Unamuno
Those faults we do not have, do not bother us.
Miguel de Unamuno

Miguel de Unamuno
The less we read, the more harmful it is what we read.
Miguel de Unamuno

Miguel de Unamuno

Miguel de Unamuno
A lot of good arguments are spoiled by some fool who knows what he is talking about.
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
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
Only he who attempts the absurd is capable of achieving the impossible.
Miguel de Unamuno
Martyrs create faith, faith does not create martyrs.
Miguel de Unamuno
Science is the most intimate school of resignation and humility, for it teaches us to bow before the seemingly most insignificant of facts.
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
Science is a cemetery of dead ideas, even though life may issue from them.
Miguel de Unamuno
The only reactionaries are those who find themselves at home in the present.
Miguel de Unamuno
