More quotes by Miguel de Unamuno
Cure yourself of the affliction of caring how you appear to others. Concern yourself only with how you appear before God, concern yourself only with the idea that God may have of you.
Miguel de Unamuno
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
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
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
Sometimes, to remain silent is to lie, since silence can be interpreted as assent.
Miguel de Unamuno
Those faults we do not have, do not bother us.
Miguel de Unamuno
Knowledge for the sake of knowledge! Truth for truth's sake! This is inhuman.
Miguel de Unamuno
The pessimism that protests and defends itself cannot be truly said to be pessimism.
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
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 is a cemetery of dead ideas, even though life may issue from them.
Miguel de Unamuno
The devil is an angel too.
Miguel de Unamuno
We should try to be the parents of our future rather than the offspring of our past.
Miguel de Unamuno
Martyrs create faith, faith does not create martyrs.
Miguel de Unamuno
A lot of good arguments are spoiled by some fool who knows what he is talking about.
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
It is not the shilling I give you that counts, but the warmth that it carries with it from my hand.
Miguel de Unamuno
The only reactionaries are those who find themselves at home in the present.
Miguel de Unamuno
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
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.
Miguel de Unamuno
