“How should the new day arrive, if the night is withheld from it and everything is suppressed into the twilight of decisionlessness?”

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.

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

Understanding of being is itself a determination of being of Da-sein.

Let himself be drawn hither by the coercion of the phenomena themselves.

Making itself intelligible is suicide for philosophy.

Regretting after making a decision doesn’t make your decision wrong.

What you want to experience in life next is waiting for you to decide.  

They use force, to make you do, what the deciders, have decided you must do.

Your decisions are the reason for your current life situation.⁣ 

Some days, you cannot decide which route is meant for you. Some days, God seems to be in a mood to test your faith and you.

You are not stuck where you are unless you decide to be.

Justice is indivisible. You can’t decide who gets civil rights and who doesn’t.

Words have a magical power. They can bring either the greatest happiness or deepest despair; they can transfer knowledge from teacher to student; words enable the orator to sway his audience and dictate its decisions.
