Miguel de Unamuno
Fascism is cured by reading, and racism is cured by traveling
Miguel de Unamuno
Man is perishing. That may be, and if it is nothingness that awaits us let us so act that it will be an unjust fate.
Miguel de Unamuno
The tears of anguish irritate and excite but those of repentance are the ones that wash.
Miguel de Unamuno
And killing time is perhaps the essence of comedy, just as the essence of tragedy is killing eternity.
Miguel de Unamuno
Sometimes, to remain silent is to lie, since silence can be interpreted as assent.
Miguel de Unamuno
A lot of good arguments are spoiled by some fool who knows what he is talking about.
Miguel de Unamuno
