“Being is essentially different from a being, from beings.”

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.

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.

On the other hand, you have different fingers.

My kids are no different than anyone else’s – they tend to disagree with everything I say!

I try to have a different relationship with the bike. I don’t give it a name, but I always speak with it. I don’t know if the other riders do the same. This is not only a piece of metal – there is a soul. The bike talks back too. But not with a voice, with the components.

Boy, those French: they have a different word for everything!

It is dangerous and unbelievably fast and entirely different from the kind of track I am used to racing on.

I’m a huge Aamir Khan fan. I love Aamir, so everything he does is brilliant. We expect something different from somebody like Aamir, whether it’s in promotion, or whether it’s in a film, and plus it has RajKumar Hirani.
