More quotes by Miguel de Unamuno

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
Art distills sensations and embodies it with enhanced meaning.
Miguel de Unamuno
