More quotes by Martin Heidegger
The possible ranks higher than the actual.
Martin Heidegger
Making itself intelligible is suicide for philosophy.
Martin Heidegger
We name time when we say: every thing has its time. This means: everything which actually is, every being comes and goes at the right time and remains for a time during the time allotted to it. Every thing has its time.
Martin Heidegger
Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.
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
How one encounters reality is a choice.
Martin Heidegger
Dwelling is not primarily inhabiting but taking care of and creating that space within which something comes into its own and flourishes.
Martin Heidegger
We still by no means think decisively enough about the essence of action.
Martin Heidegger
Dasein is a being that does not simply occur among other beings. Rather it is ontically distinguished by the fact that in its being this being is concerned about its very being. Thus it is constitutive of the being of Dasein to have, in its very being, a relation of being to this being.
Martin Heidegger
Tell me how you read and I'll tell you who you are.
Martin Heidegger
The question concerning technology is the question concerning the constellation in which revealing and concealing, in which the coming to presence of truth, comes to pass
Martin Heidegger
The human being is not the lord of beings, but the shepherd of Being.
Martin Heidegger
The German language speaks Being, while all the others merely speak of Being.
Martin Heidegger
In everything well known something worthy of thought still lurks.
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
Philosophy will not be able to effect an immediate transformation of the present condition of the world. This is not only true of philosophy, but of all merely human thought and endeavor.
Martin Heidegger
A man's first bond is that which ties him into the national community.
Martin Heidegger
Understanding of being is itself a determination of being of Da-sein.
Martin Heidegger
Thus phenomenology means αποφαινεσθαι τα φαινομενα -- to let that which shows itself be seen from itself in the very way in which it shows itself from itself.
Martin Heidegger
In order to remain silent Da-sein must have something to say.
Martin Heidegger
