Enjoyment of the work consists in participation in the creative state of the artist. - Martin Heidegger

The grandeur of man is measured according to what he seeks and according to the urgency by which he remains a seeker.

In everything well known something worthy of thought still lurks.

Those in the crossing must in the end know what is mistaken by all urging for intelligibility: that every thinking of being, all philosophy, can never be confirmed by "facts," ie, by beings. Making itself intelligible is suicide for philosophy. Those who idolize "facts" never notice that their idols only shine in a borrowed light. They are also meant not to notice this; for thereupon they would have to be at a loss and therefore useless. But idolizers and idols are used wherever gods are in flight and so announce their nearness.
