“Truth is that which makes a people certain, clear, and strong.”

Language is the house of Being.

To dwell is to garden.

The question of existence never gets straightened out except through existing itself.

Everything has always already been said. And yet this “same” possesses, as its inner truth, the inexhaustable wealth of what is on every day as if that day were its first.

Technology is therefore no mere means. Technology is a way of revealing.

The possible ranks higher than the actual.

All the poems of the poet who has entered into his poethood are poems of homecoming.

Nothing is everything that doesn’t happen at this very moment.

To say philosophy originates in wonder means philosophy is wondrous in its essence and becomes more wondrous the more it becomes what it really is.

Language speaks and not the human.

Technology is a mode of revealing. Technology comes to presence in the realm where revealing and unconcealment take place, where aletheia, truth, happens.

To be a poet in a destitute time means: to attend, singing, to the trace of the fugitive gods. This is why the poet in the time of the world’s night utters the holy.

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.

Questioning is the piety of thought.

Everyone is the other and no one is himself.

Beauty is one way in which truth essentially occurs as unconcealment.

We go through many things in life just to come back to our clarity.  

You must be clear about what you want in your life if you are serious about unlocking the extraordinary power that lies within you.

Love the person, but give the person total freedom. Love the person, but from the very beginning make it clear that you are not selling your freedom.

The more clearly you understand yourself and your emotions, the more you become a lover of what is.

No discussion between two persons can be of any use, until each knows clearly what it is that the other asserts.

Minimalism is clearing your mind of attachments and focusing on what matters most.

Having knowledge but lacking the power to express it clearly is no better than never having any ideas at all.

When everything is uncertain, everything that’s important becomes clear.
