Miguel de Unamuno

Anyone who in discussion relies upon authority uses, not his understanding, but rather his memory.

That which the Fascists hate above all else, is intelligence.

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.

The skeptic does not mean him who doubts, but him who investigates or researches, as opposed to him who asserts and thinks that he has found.

A man does not die of love or his liver or even of old age; he dies of being a man.

There is no true love save in suffering, and in this world we have to choose either love, which is suffering, or happiness. Man is the more man - that is, the more divine - the greater his capacity for suffering, or rather, for anguish.

To love with the spirit is to pity, and he who pities most loves most.

Love is the child of illusion and the parent of disillusion.

It is sad not to love, but it is much sadder not to be able to love.

Suffering is the substance of life and the root of personality, for it is only suffering that makes us persons.

Life is doubt, and faith without doubt is nothing but death.

Your neighbor's vision is as true for him as your own vision is true for you.
