More quotes by Miguel de Unamuno
The supreme triumph of reason is to cast doubt upon its own validity.
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
Human beliefs, like all other natural growths, elude the barrier of systems.
Miguel de Unamuno
From the subterranean ore of memory we extract the jeweled visions of our future.
Miguel de Unamuno
What is certain is that for thinking believers to-day, faith is, before all and above all, wishing that God may exist.
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
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
It is not the shilling I give you that counts, but the warmth that it carries with it from my hand.
Miguel de Unamuno
Was man made for science, or was science made for man?
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
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
And killing time is perhaps the essence of comedy, just as the essence of tragedy is killing eternity.
Miguel de Unamuno
We should try to be the parents of our future rather than the offspring of our past.
Miguel de Unamuno
My aim is to agitate and disturb people. I'm not selling bread I'm selling yeast.
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
Those faults we do not have, do not bother us.
Miguel de Unamuno
The chiefest sanctity of a temple is that it is a place to which men go to weep in common.
Miguel de Unamuno
Fascism is cured by reading, and racism is cured by traveling
Miguel de Unamuno
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
The truth is that reason is the enemy of life.
Miguel de Unamuno
