Miguel de Unamuno
Fascism is cured by reading, and racism is cured by traveling
Miguel de Unamuno
Man habitually sacrifices his life to his purse, but he sacrifices his purse to his vanity.
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

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