More quotes by Martin Heidegger

Image
Dasein is a being that does not simply occur among other beings. Rather it is ontically distinguished by the fact that in its being this being is concerned about its very being. Thus it is constitutive of the being of Dasein to have, in its very being, a relation of being to this being.
Martin Heidegger
Image
We name time when we say: every thing has its time. This means: everything which actually is, every being comes and goes at the right time and remains for a time during the time allotted to it. Every thing has its time.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Is the earth in our head? Or do we stand on the earth?
Martin Heidegger
Image
Temporality temporalizes as a future which makes present in the process of having been.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Nietzsche ... does not shy from conscious exaggeration and one-sided formulations of his thought, believing that in this way he can most clearly set in relief what in his vision and in his inquiry is different from the run-of-the-mill.
Martin Heidegger
Image
The Fuhrer alone is the present and future German reality and its law. Learn to know ever more deeply: from now on every single thing demands decision, and every action responsibility.
Martin Heidegger
Image
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
Image

Martin Heidegger
Image
The song still remains which names the land over which it sings.
Martin Heidegger
Image
We should never allow our fears or the expectations of others to set the frontiers of our destiny.
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
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
We ourselves are the entities to be analyzed.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Only if we are capable of dwelling, only then can we build
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
The human being is not the lord of beings, but the shepherd of Being.
Martin Heidegger
Image
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
Image
In order to remain silent Da-sein must have something to say.
Martin Heidegger

A man's first bond is that which ties him into the national community.
