More quotes by Martin Heidegger
The possible ranks higher than the actual.
Martin Heidegger
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
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
We should never allow our fears or the expectations of others to set the frontiers of our destiny.
Martin Heidegger
How one encounters reality is a choice.
Martin Heidegger

Martin Heidegger
A man's first bond is that which ties him into the national community.
Martin Heidegger
True time is four-dimensional.
Martin Heidegger
Being-alone is a deficient mode of being-with its possibility is a proof for the latter.
Martin Heidegger

Martin Heidegger
A giving which gives only its gift, but in the giving holds itself back and withdraws, such a giving we call sending.
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
We ourselves are the entities to be analyzed.
Martin Heidegger
We do not have a body rather, we are bodily.
Martin Heidegger
Temporality temporalizes as a future which makes present in the process of having been.
Martin Heidegger
The German language speaks Being, while all the others merely speak of Being.
Martin Heidegger
Pessimism negates the existing world. Yet its negating is ambiguous. It can simply will decay and nothingness, but it can also renounce what exists and thus open a path for a new formation of the world.
Martin Heidegger
