Miguel de Unamuno Life Quotations

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

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

Only he who attempts the absurd is capable of achieving the impossible.

Love personalizes all that it loves. Only by personalizing it can we fall in love with an idea.

Our life is a hope which is continually converting itself into memory and memory in its turn begets hope.

My religion is searching for the truth in life and life in the truth, though knowing that I do not have to find it while I live; my religion is fighting incessantly and tirelessly with the unknown.

The truth is that my work - I was going to say my mission - is to shatter the faith of men here, there, and everywhere, faith in affirmation, faith in negation, and faith in abstention in faith, and this for the sake of faith in faith itself; it is to war against all those who submit, whether it be to Catholicism, or to rationalism, or to agnosticism; it is to make all men live the life of inquietude and passionate desire.
