Miguel de Unamuno
My aim is to agitate and disturb people. I'm not selling bread I'm selling yeast.
Miguel de Unamuno
The tears of anguish irritate and excite but those of repentance are the ones that wash.
Miguel de Unamuno
Our life is a hope which is continually converting itself into memory and memory in its turn begets hope.
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
