We should never allow our fears or the expectations of others to set the frontiers of our destiny.
Martin Heidegger
Image
We do not have a body rather, we are bodily.
Martin Heidegger
Image
But what is great can only begin great.
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 human body is essentially something other than an animal organism.
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

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
Man acts as though he were the shaper and master of language, while in fact language remains the master of man.
Martin Heidegger
Image
True time is four-dimensional.
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
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
The song still remains which names the land over which it sings.
Martin Heidegger
Image
In everything well known something worthy of thought still lurks.
Martin Heidegger
