Image
We should live totally in the face of the night and of the Evil.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Being-alone is a deficient mode of being-with its possibility is a proof for the latter.
Martin Heidegger
Image
So long as we represent technology as an instrument, we remain held fast in the will to master it.
Martin Heidegger
Image
In order to remain silent Da-sein must have something to say.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Form displays the relation [to beings] itself as the state of original comportment toward beings, the festive state in which the being itself in its essence is celebrated and thus for the first time placed in the open.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Dwelling is not primarily inhabiting but taking care of and creating that space within which something comes into its own and flourishes.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Being is only Being for Dasein.
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
A man's first bond is that which ties him into the national community.
Martin Heidegger
Image
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
Image
This characteristic of Dasein's being this that it is is veiled in its whence and whither.
Martin Heidegger
Image
A giving which gives only its gift, but in the giving holds itself back and withdraws, such a giving we call sending.
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
Image
The human being is not the lord of beings, but the shepherd of Being.
Martin Heidegger
Image
The German language speaks Being, while all the others merely speak of Being.
Martin Heidegger
Image
The small are always dependent on the great they are small precisely because they think they are independent. The great thinker is one who can hear what is greatest in the work of other greats and who can transform it in an original manner.
Martin Heidegger
Image
The critique of the highest values hitherto does not simply refute them or declare them invalid. It is rather a matter of displaying their origins as impositions which must affirm precisely what ought to be negated by the values established.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Time is not a thing, thus nothing which is, and yet it remains constant in its passing away without being something temporal like the beings in time.
Martin Heidegger
Image
But what is great can only begin great.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Man acts as though he were the shaper and master of language, while in fact language remains the master of man.
Martin Heidegger
