“Language is the house of Being.”

No historical movement can leap outside of history and start from scratch.

All questions that do justice to the subject are themselves bridges to their own answering.

Being is essentially different from a being, from beings.

The meeting of the solitary ones can happen only in solitude.

Expelled from the truth of Being, man everywhere circles around himself as the animal rationale.

Mere anxiety is the source of everything.

The god wholly other than past ones and especially other than the Christian one.

On this “way,” if to keep falling down and getting up can be called a way.

Immersing ourselves in art and the immeasurable through being allows us a more truthful experience of the world.

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

Man stares at what the explosion of the atom bomb could bring with it. He does not see that the atom bomb and its explosion are the mere final emission of what has long since taken place, has already happened.

Being the rational animal, man must be capable of thinking if he really wants to. Still, it may be that man wants to think, but cannot.

I know that everything essential and great originated from the fact that the human being had a homeland and was rooted in tradition.

Only a god can save us.

We do not have any clear, common and simple relation to reality and to ourselves. That is the big problem of the Western world.

Only he who already understands can listen.

The fact that our heart yearns for something Earth can’t supply is proof that Heaven must be our home.

When I do have free time, I spend it with friends, or I spend it at home writing or making something.

Whether I’m at the office, at home, or on the road, I always have a stack of books I’m looking forward to reading.

Do not swallow bait offered by the enemy. Do not interfere with an army that is returning home.

Wherever you have friends that’s your country, and wherever you receive love, that’s your home.

Perhaps home is not a place but simply an irrevocable condition.

Quality is more important than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles.

There’s always room for a story that can transport people to another place.
