More quotes by Martin Heidegger

Image
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
Image
Time-space as commonly understood, in the sense of the distance measured between two time-points, is the result of time calculation.
Martin Heidegger
Image

Martin Heidegger
Image
Agriculture is now a motorized food industry, the same thing in its essence as the production of corpses in the gas chambers and the extermination camps, the same thing as blockades and the reduction of countries to famine, the same thing as the manufacture of hydrogen bombs.
Martin Heidegger

Martin Heidegger
Image
The possible ranks higher than the actual.
Martin Heidegger

We should never allow our fears or the expectations of others to set the frontiers of our destiny.
Martin Heidegger
Image
What is peddled about nowadays as philosophy, especially that of N.S. [National Socialism], but has nothing to do with the inner truth and greatness of that movement [namely the encounter between global technology and modern humanity] is nothing but fishing in that troubled sea of values and totalities.
Martin Heidegger
Image
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
Image
Only where leader and led together bind each other in one destiny ... does true order grow.
Martin Heidegger
Image
We still by no means think decisively enough about the essence of action.
Martin Heidegger
