More quotes by Martin Heidegger
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
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
Only if we are capable of dwelling, only then can we build
Martin Heidegger
A man's first bond is that which ties him into the national community.
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
Only where leader and led together bind each other in one destiny ... does true order grow.
Martin Heidegger
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
We still by no means think decisively enough about the essence of action.
Martin Heidegger
The song still remains which names the land over which it sings.
Martin Heidegger
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
Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.
Martin Heidegger
Man acts as though he were the shaper and master of language, while in fact language remains the master of man.
Martin Heidegger
Whatever can be noted historically can be found within history.
Martin Heidegger
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
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
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
We should never allow our fears or the expectations of others to set the frontiers of our destiny.
Martin Heidegger
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
This characteristic of Dasein's being this that it is is veiled in its whence and whither.
Martin Heidegger
How one encounters reality is a choice.
Martin Heidegger
