Anyone can achieve their fullest potential, who we are might be predetermined, but the path we follow is always of our own choosing.

Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.

Martin Heidegger
Image
Nietzsche ... does not shy from conscious exaggeration and one-sided formulations of his thought, believing that in this way he can most clearly set in relief what in his vision and in his inquiry is different from the run-of-the-mill.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Making itself intelligible is suicide for philosophy.
Martin Heidegger

Only if we are capable of dwelling, only then can we build
Martin Heidegger
Image
If in Nietzsche's thinking the prior tradition of Western thought is gathered and completed in a decisive respect, then the confrontation with Nietzsche becomes one with all Western thought hitherto.
Martin Heidegger

In everything well known something worthy of thought still lurks.
Martin Heidegger

Only where leader and led together bind each other in one destiny ... does true order grow.
Martin Heidegger

So long as we represent technology as an instrument, we remain held fast in the will to master it.
