Heidegger, Dont Go Too Far

LATTER QUOTES

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.

POSSIBILITY QUOTES

Being-alone is a deficient mode of being-with; its possibility is a proof for the latter.

THINKING QUOTES

To think Being itself explicitly requires disregarding Being to the extent that it is only grounded and interpreted in terms of beings and for beings as their ground, as in all metaphysics.

FACES QUOTES

If I take death into my life, acknowledge it, and face it squarely, I will free myself from the anxiety of death and the pettiness of life – and only then will I be free to become myself.

NAMES QUOTES

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.

PHILOSOPHICAL QUOTES

The human being is not the lord of beings, but the shepherd of Being.

PHILOSOPHY QUOTES

Why are there beings at all, instead of Nothing?

WRITING QUOTES

Man acts as though he were the shaper and master of language, while in fact language remains the master of man.

PHILOSOPHICAL QUOTES

The human body is essentially something other than an animal organism.

PHILOSOPHICAL QUOTES

The most thought-provoking thing in our thought-provoking time is that we are still not thinking.

WORLD QUOTES

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.

COUNTRY QUOTES

Agriculture is now a motorized food industry, the same thing in its essence as the production of corpses in the gas chambers and the extermination camps, the same thing as blockades and the reduction of countries to famine, the same thing as the manufacture of hydrogen bombs.

THINKING QUOTES

We still by no means think decisively enough about the essence of action.

DEATH QUOTES

Every man is born as many men and dies as a single one.

PASSING AWAY QUOTES

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.

MAN QUOTES

Man is not the lord of beings. Man is the shepherd of Being.

PHILOSOPHICAL QUOTES

We do not say: Being is, time is, but rather: there is Being and there is time.

GERMAN LANGUAGE QUOTES

The German language speaks Being, while all the others merely speak of Being.

CENTURY QUOTES

Thinking begins only when we have come to know that reason, glorified for centuries, is the stiff-necked adversary of thought.

DISTANCE QUOTES

Time-space as commonly understood, in the sense of the distance measured between two time-points, is the result of time calculation.

FOUND QUOTES

Whatever can be noted historically can be found within history.

RESPONSIBILITY QUOTES

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.

HOUSE QUOTES

Language is the house of the truth of Being.

EGO QUOTES

As the ego cogito, subjectivity is the consciousness that represents something, relates this representation back to itself, and so gathers with itself.

MOVING QUOTES

But every historical statement and legitimization itself moves within a certain relation to history.

GERMAN PHILOSOPHER QUOTES

So it’s clear from whence the history of philosophy is the inner movement of the course of spirit, that is, of absolute subjectivity, towards itself.

COMING QUOTES

…Before considering the question that is seemingly always the most immediate one and the only urgent one, What shall we do? we ponder this: How must we think? For thinking is genuine activity, genuine taking a hand, if to take a hand means to lend a hand to…the coming to presence of Being.

BODY QUOTES

The senses do not enable us to cognize any entity in its Being; they merely serve to announce the ways in which ‘external’ Things within-the-world are useful or harmful for human creatures encumbered with bodies….they tell us nothing about entities in their Being.

PHILOSOPHICAL QUOTES

True time is four-dimensional.

POET QUOTES

The poets are in the vanguard of a changed conception of Being.

ART QUOTES

The word “art” does not designate the concept of a mere eventuality; it is a concept of rank. To dwell is to garden.

SONG QUOTES

The song still remains which names the land over which it sings.

SOIL QUOTES

I take great pleasure, every day, in seeing my work deeply rooted in our native soil.

SELF QUOTES

The world, in resting upon the earth, strives to surmount it. As self-opening it cannot endure anything closed. The earth, however, as sheltering and concealing, tends always to draw the world into itself and keep it there

ISSUES QUOTES

Being is an issue for one.

But what is great can only begin great.

MEAN QUOTES

The essence of technology is by no means anything technological.

GUARANTEES THAT QUOTES

Since time itself is not movement, it must somehow have to do with movement.Time is initially encountered in those entities which are changeable, change is in time. How is time exhibited in this way of encountering it, namely, as that within which things change? Does it here give itself as itself in what it is? Can an axplacation of time starts here guarantee that time will thereby provide as it were the fundamental phenomena that determine it in its own being?

AVERAGE QUOTES

The average, vague understanding of being can be permeated by traditional theories and opinions about being in such a way that these theories, as the sources of the prevailing understanding, remain hidden.

EXISTENTIALISM QUOTES

This characteristic of Dasein’s being this “that it is” is veiled in its “whence” and “whither.

FACTS QUOTES

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.

INSTRUMENTS QUOTES

So long as we represent technology as an instrument, we remain held fast in the will to master it.

SPACE QUOTES

We make a space inside ourselves, so that being can speak.

EMPTY QUOTES

There is no such thing as an empty word, only one that is worn out yet remains full.

PROCESS QUOTES

Temporality temporalizes as a future which makes present in the process of having been.
