Martin Heidegger
Transcendence constitutes selfhood.
Martin Heidegger
How one encounters reality is a choice.
Martin Heidegger

Martin Heidegger

Martin Heidegger

Martin Heidegger
In no way can it be uttered, as can other things, which one can learn. Rather, from out of a full, co-existential dwelling with the thing itself - as when a spark, leaping from the fire, flares into light - so it happens, suddenly, in the soul, there to grow, alone with itself.
Martin Heidegger
The human body is essentially something other than an animal organism.
Martin Heidegger
The possible ranks higher than the actual.
Martin Heidegger
So long as we represent technology as an instrument, we remain held fast in the will to master it.
Martin Heidegger
