Martin Heidegger

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.

Martin Heidegger
Tell me how you read and I'll tell you who you are.
Martin Heidegger
But what is great can only begin great.
Martin Heidegger
In everything well known something worthy of thought still lurks.
Martin Heidegger
Technology is therefore no mere means. Technology is a way of revealing. If we give heed to this, then another whole realm for the essence of technology will open itself up to us. It is the realm of revealing, i.e., of truth
Martin Heidegger
Pessimism negates the existing world. Yet its negating is ambiguous. It can simply will decay and nothingness, but it can also renounce what exists and thus open a path for a new formation of the world.
Martin Heidegger

Martin Heidegger
