More quotes by Miguel de Unamuno
Anyone who in discussion relies upon authority uses, not his understanding, but rather his memory.
Miguel de Unamuno
A man does not die of love or his liver or even of old age he dies of being a man.
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
These terrible sociologists, who are the astrologers and alchemists of our twentieth century.
Miguel de Unamuno
True science teaches, above all, to doubt and be ignorant.
Miguel de Unamuno
The devil is an angel too.
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
Dream abides it is the only things that abides vision abides.
Miguel de Unamuno
Art distills sensations and embodies it with enhanced meaning.
Miguel de Unamuno
While men believe themselves to be seeking truth for its own sake, they are in fact seeking life in truth.
Miguel de Unamuno
It is truer to say that martyrs create faith more than faith creates martyrs.
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
Those faults we do not have, do not bother us.
Miguel de Unamuno
Piensa el sentimiento, siente el pensamiento. (roughly translated, Think about the emotional and feel the intellectual)
Miguel de Unamuno
Science is the most intimate school of resignation and humility, for it teaches us to bow before the seemingly most insignificant of facts.
Miguel de Unamuno
The tears of anguish irritate and excite but those of repentance are the ones that wash.
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 pessimism that protests and defends itself cannot be truly said to be pessimism.
Miguel de Unamuno
Science is a cemetery of dead ideas, even though life may issue from them.
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
