Nature has no history.

As long as it is, Dasein always has understood itself and always will understand itself in terms of possibilities.

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

The great collapses, the small remains forever.

We never come to thoughts. They come to us.

Longing is the agony of the nearness of the distant.

It sometimes happens that a woman is handsomer at twenty-nine than she was ten years before.

Only in books has mankind known perfect truth, love and beauty.

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.
