Image
To think is to confine yourself to a single thought that one day stands still like a star in the world's sky.
Martin Heidegger
Image
How one encounters reality is a choice.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.
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
Image
We ourselves are the entities to be analyzed.
Martin Heidegger
Image
The question concerning technology is the question concerning the constellation in which revealing and concealing, in which the coming to presence of truth, comes to pass
Martin Heidegger
Image
Anyone can achieve their fullest potential, who we are might be predetermined, but the path we follow is always of our own choosing. We should never allow our fears or the expectations of others to set the frontiers of our destiny. Your destiny can't be changed but, it can be challenged. Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Being is only Being for Dasein.
Martin Heidegger
Image
We still by no means think decisively enough about the essence of action.
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
In no way can it be uttered, as can other things, which one can learn. Rather, from out of a full, co-existential dwelling with the thing itself - as when a spark, leaping from the fire, flares into light - so it happens, suddenly, in the soul, there to grow, alone with itself.
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
The German language speaks Being, while all the others merely speak of Being.
Martin Heidegger
Image
The human body is essentially something other than an animal organism.
Martin Heidegger
Image
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
Image
Understanding of being is itself a determination of being of Da-sein.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Tell me how you read and I'll tell you who you are.
Martin Heidegger
Image
In everything well known something worthy of thought still lurks.
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
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
