Miguel de Unamuno

Miguel de Unamuno

Miguel de Unamuno

Miguel de Unamuno
Science teaches us, in effect, to submit our reason to the truth and to know and judge of things as they are-that is to say, as they themselves choose to be and not as we would have them to be.
Miguel de Unamuno
Was man made for science, or was science made for man?
Miguel de Unamuno
Knowledge for the sake of knowledge! Truth for truth's sake! This is inhuman.
Miguel de Unamuno
Dream abides it is the only things that abides vision abides.
Miguel de Unamuno
An idea does not pass from one language to another without change.
Miguel de Unamuno
