Image
Is the earth in our head? Or do we stand on the earth?
Martin Heidegger
Image
How one encounters reality is a choice.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Being-alone is a deficient mode of being-with its possibility is a proof for the latter.
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
So long as we represent technology as an instrument, we remain held fast in the will to master it.
Martin Heidegger
Image
We should live totally in the face of the night and of the Evil.
Martin Heidegger
Image
In order to remain silent Da-sein must have something to say.
Martin Heidegger
Image
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
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
Technology is therefore no mere means. Technology is a way of revealing. If we give heed to this, then another whole realm for the essence of technology will open itself up to us. It is the realm of revealing, i.e., of truth
Martin Heidegger
Image
Language is the house of Being. In its home man dwells. Those who think and those who create with words are the guardians of this home.
Martin Heidegger
Image
We still by no means think decisively enough about the essence of action.
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
Only if we are capable of dwelling, only then can we build
Martin Heidegger
Image
Tell me how you read and I'll tell you who you are.
Martin Heidegger
Image
True time is four-dimensional.
Martin Heidegger
Image
Being is only Being for Dasein.
Martin Heidegger
Image
The human body is essentially something other than an animal organism.
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
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
