More quotes by Martin Heidegger
But what is great can only begin great.
Martin Heidegger
The song still remains which names the land over which it sings.
Martin Heidegger
Making itself intelligible is suicide for philosophy.
Martin Heidegger
We do not have a body rather, we are bodily.
Martin Heidegger
The German language speaks Being, while all the others merely speak of Being.
Martin Heidegger
The Fuhrer alone is the present and future German reality and its law. Learn to know ever more deeply: from now on every single thing demands decision, and every action responsibility.
Martin Heidegger
The small are always dependent on the great they are small precisely because they think they are independent. The great thinker is one who can hear what is greatest in the work of other greats and who can transform it in an original manner.
Martin Heidegger
The senses do not enable us to cognize any entity in its Being they merely serve to announce the ways in which 'external' Things within-the-world are useful or harmful for human creatures encumbered with bodies....they tell us nothing about entities in their Being.
Martin Heidegger
What was Aristotle’s life?’ Well, the answer lay in a single sentence: ‘He was born, he thought, he died.’ And all the rest is pure anecdote.
Martin Heidegger
This characteristic of Dasein's being this that it is is veiled in its whence and whither.
Martin Heidegger
To be a poet in a destitute time means: to attend, singing, to the trace of the fugitive gods. This is why the poet in the time of the world's night utters the holy.
Martin Heidegger
We ourselves are the entities to be analyzed.
Martin Heidegger
How one encounters reality is a choice.
Martin Heidegger
Anyone can achieve their fullest potential, who we are might be predetermined, but the path we follow is always of our own choosing. We should never allow our fears or the expectations of others to set the frontiers of our destiny. Your destiny can't be changed but, it can be challenged. Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.
Martin Heidegger
In order to remain silent Da-sein must have something to say.
Martin Heidegger
Language is the house of Being. In its home man dwells. Those who think and those who create with words are the guardians of this home.
Martin Heidegger
Whatever can be noted historically can be found within history.
Martin Heidegger
To think is to confine yourself to a single thought that one day stands still like a star in the world's sky.
Martin Heidegger
Being is only Being for Dasein.
Martin Heidegger
Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.
Martin Heidegger
