“We are too late for the gods and too early for Being.”

Why are there beings at all, instead of Nothing?

He who never says anything cannot keep silent at any given moment.

Tell me how you read and I’ll tell you who you are.

Our thinking today is charged with the task to think what the Greeks have thought in an even more Greek manner.

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.

The essence of technology is by no means anything technological.

But what is great can only begin great.

Only within metaphysics does logic exist.

Because it is more essential, and older, the destiny of Being is less familiar than the lack of God.

Nothing religious is ever destroyed by logic; it is destroyed only by the god’s withdrawal.

A resounding of the authentic word can arise only from silence.
