More quotes by Miguel de Unamuno
It is truer to say that martyrs create faith more than faith creates martyrs.
Miguel de Unamuno
It is not usually our ideas that make us optimistic or pessimistic, but it is our optimism or pessimism of physiological or pathological origin that makes our ideas.
Miguel de Unamuno
And killing time is perhaps the essence of comedy, just as the essence of tragedy is killing eternity.
Miguel de Unamuno
Cure yourself of the inclination to bother about how you look to other people. Be concerned only . . . with the idea God has of you.
Miguel de Unamuno
We should try to be the parents of our future rather than the offspring of our past.

Martyrs create faith, faith does not create martyrs.
Miguel de Unamuno
All knowledge has an ultimate goal. Knowledge for the sake of knowledge is, say what you will, nothing but a dismal begging of the question.
Miguel de Unamuno
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
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

Miguel de Unamuno
The only reactionaries are those who find themselves at home in the present.
Miguel de Unamuno
My aim is to agitate and disturb people. I'm not selling bread I'm selling yeast.
Miguel de Unamuno

Miguel de Unamuno
It is not the shilling I give you that counts, but the warmth that it carries with it from my hand.
Miguel de Unamuno
A lot of good arguments are spoiled by some fool who knows what he is talking about.
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
Is there anything more terrible than a call? It affords an occasion for the exchange of the most threadbare commonplaces. Calls and the theatre are the two great centers for the propagation of platitudes.
Miguel de Unamuno
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
To fall into a habit is to begin to cease to be.
Miguel de Unamuno
