Martin Heidegger quotes about
The possible ranks higher than the actual.
Transcendence constitutes selfhood.
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.
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.
In everything well known something worthy of thought still lurks.
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
Understanding of being is itself a determination of being of Da-sein.
True time is four-dimensional.

Time-space as commonly understood, in the sense of the distance measured between two time-points, is the result of time calculation.
So long as we represent technology as an instrument, we remain held fast in the will to master it.

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