Ideoclast
Miguel de Unamuno:
Newer› ‹Older
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.Quoted by Walter Starkie in the introduction to Miguel de Unamuno, Our Lord Don Quixote, tr. Anthony Kerrigan (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1976), p. xv.
