Martin Heidegger
This characteristic of Dasein's being this that it is is veiled in its whence and whither.
Martin Heidegger
A man's first bond is that which ties him into the national community.
Martin Heidegger
Tell me how you read and I'll tell you who you are.
Martin Heidegger
True time is four-dimensional.
Martin Heidegger
Dwelling is not primarily inhabiting but taking care of and creating that space within which something comes into its own and flourishes.
Martin Heidegger
We still by no means think decisively enough about the essence of action.
Martin Heidegger
Thinking begins only when we have come to know that reason, glorified for centuries, is the stiff-necked adversary of thought.
Martin Heidegger
Only if we are capable of dwelling, only then can we build
Martin Heidegger
The domination of the public way in which things have been interpreted has already decided upon even the possibilities of being attuned, that is, about the basic way in which Da-sein lets itself be affected by the world. The they prescribes that attunement, it determines what and how one sees.
Martin Heidegger
Time-space as commonly understood, in the sense of the distance measured between two time-points, is the result of time calculation.
Martin Heidegger
We should never allow our fears or the expectations of others to set the frontiers of our destiny.
Martin Heidegger
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
The possible ranks higher than the actual.
Martin Heidegger
We ourselves are the entities to be analyzed.
Martin Heidegger
We make a space inside ourselves, so that being can speak.
Martin Heidegger
Whatever can be noted historically can be found within history.
Martin Heidegger

Martin Heidegger
We should live totally in the face of the night and of the Evil.
Martin Heidegger
