Martin Heidegger
A man's first bond is that which ties him into the national community.
Martin Heidegger
The song still remains which names the land over which it sings.
Martin Heidegger

Martin Heidegger

Martin Heidegger

Martin Heidegger
We still by no means think decisively enough about the essence of action.
Martin Heidegger
How one encounters reality is a choice.
Martin Heidegger
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
Man acts as though he were the shaper and master of language, while in fact language remains the master of man.
Martin Heidegger
