Famous quotes by Martin Heidegger:

"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."

"...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."

"To dwell is to garden."

"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."

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

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

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

"Why are there beings at all, instead of Nothing?"

"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."

"The possible ranks higher than the actual."

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

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

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

"Whatever can be noted historically can be found within history."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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