Making itself intelligible is suicide for philosophy.

As the ego cogito, subjectivity is the consciousness that represents something, relates this representation back to itself, and so gathers with itself.

The human being is not the lord of beings, but the shepherd of Being.

Being and time determine each other reciprocally, but in such a manner that neither can the former - Being - be addressed as something temporal nor can the latter - time - be addressed as a being.

Talk to people... everything good I've done has come from conversations with people. Science is a very social phenomenon.

By the time 1967 had rolled around, general relativity had been relegated to mathematics departments... in most people's minds, it bore no relation to physics. And that was mostly because experiments to prove it were so hard to do - all these effects that Einstein's theory had predicted were infinitesimally small.

Further, the dignity of the science itself seems to require that every possible means be explored for the solution of a problem so elegant and so celebrated.

I don't recall my parents ever steering me toward or away from science. It was more that I was steered toward learning and excellence in the classroom.
