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 -
In its essence, technology is something that man does not control.
Martin Heidegger
-
Being and time determine each other reciprocally, but in such a manner that neither can the former - Being - be addressed as something temporal nor can the latter - time - be addressed as a being.
Martin Heidegger -
The human being is not the lord of beings, but the shepherd of Being.
Martin Heidegger -
Time is not a thing, thus nothing which is, and yet it remains constant in its passing away without being something temporal like the beings in time.
Martin Heidegger -
To dwell is to garden.
Martin Heidegger -
Whatever can be noted historically can be found within history.
Martin Heidegger -
Man is not the lord of beings. Man is the shepherd of Being.

A boundary is not that at which something stops, but that from which something begins.

What seems natural to us is probably just something familiar in a long tradition that has forgotten the unfamiliar source from which it arose. And yet this unfamiliar source once struck man as strange and caused him to think and to wonder.
Martin Heidegger -
Der Tod ist die Möglichkeit der schlechthinnigen Daseinsunmöglichkeit.
Martin Heidegger -
Dwelling is not primarily inhabiting but taking care of and creating that space within which something comes into its own and flourishes.
Martin Heidegger
-
The most thought-provoking thing in our thought-provoking time is that we are still not thinking.
Martin Heidegger -
The word 'art' does not designate the concept of a mere eventuality; it is a concept of rank.
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 -
Transcendence constitutes selfhood.
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 -
In Nietzsche’s view nihilism is not a Weltanschauung that occurs at some time and place or another; it is rather the basic character of what happens in Occidental history.
Martin Heidegger
-
'To stamp becoming with the character of being-that is the supreme will to power.' (WM 617) This suggests that becoming only is if it is grounded in being as being: 'That everything recurs is the closest approximation of a world of becoming to one of being.'
Martin Heidegger -
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 -
When modern physics exerts itself to establish the world's formula, what occurs thereby is this: the being of entities has resolved itself into the method of the totally calculable.
Martin Heidegger -
The German language speaks Being, while all the others merely speak of Being.
