Image
Anyone who in discussion relies upon authority uses, not his understanding, but rather his memory.
Miguel de Unamuno
Image
Knowledge for the sake of knowledge! Truth for truth's sake! This is inhuman.
Miguel de Unamuno
Image
Dream abides it is the only things that abides vision abides.
Miguel de Unamuno
Image
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
Image
At times to be silent is to lie. You will win because you have enough brute force. But you will not convince. For to convince you need to persuade. And in order to persuade you would need what you lack: Reason and Right
Miguel de Unamuno
Image
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
Image
Our life is a hope which is continually converting itself into memory and memory in its turn begets hope.
Miguel de Unamuno
Image
Use harms and even destroys beauty. The noblest function of an object is to be contemplated.
Miguel de Unamuno
Image
It is not the shilling I give you that counts, but the warmth that it carries with it from my hand.
Miguel de Unamuno
Image
Piensa el sentimiento, siente el pensamiento. (roughly translated, Think about the emotional and feel the intellectual)
Miguel de Unamuno
Image
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
Image
From the subterranean ore of memory we extract the jeweled visions of our future.
Miguel de Unamuno
Image
We should try to be the parents of our future rather than the offspring of our past.
Miguel de Unamuno
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Human beliefs, like all other natural growths, elude the barrier of systems.
Miguel de Unamuno
Image
Science is a cemetary of dead ideas.
Miguel de Unamuno
Image
There is no tyranny in the world more hateful than that of ideas. Ideas bring ideophobia, and the consequence is that people begin to persecute their neighbors in the name of ideas. I loathe and detest all labels, and the only label that I could now tolerate would be that of ideoclast or idea breaker.
Miguel de Unamuno
Image
Hell has been conceived as a police institution, to inspire fear in this world. But the worst of it all is that it no longer frightens anyone, and therefore it will have to be closed down.
Miguel de Unamuno
Image
My work...is to shatter the faith of men here, there, and everywhere, faith in affirmation, faith in negation, and faith in abstention from faith, and this for the sake of faith in faith itself.
