Martin Heidegger

Science does not think.

Questioning is the piety of thought.

Only a god can save us now.

The world is always new; how can it be old?

Art is the setting-into-work of truth.

Great art is as irrational as great music. It is madness, that is to say: a supreme disclosure of truth.

Poetry is the establishment of being by means of the word.

The poet in a destitute time is a savior.

Technology is a way of revealing.

Everywhere we remain unfree and chained to technology, whether we passionately affirm or deny it.

The saving power grows only where there is danger.

Man is not the lord of beings. Man is the shepherd of Being.

We are still far from pondering the essence of action.

Thinking is more than mere representing.

To think and to be are one and the same.

The nature of truth is the truth of nature.

In the essence of art there lies a reaching out toward the primordial.

The closer we come to distress, the more we are in the presence of what is needed.

Mortals are in the fourfold with things.

The jug's thingness resides in its holding.
