  • Philosophizing is the act of thought itself, by which the essence of man, in its entirety, is realized in the individual man.

  • Philosophizing originates from life in the depths where it touches Eternity inside Time, not at the surface where it moves in finite purposes, even though the depths appear to us only at the surface.

  • Even when regulating his existence man feels as if the waves of events had drawn him beyond his depth in the turbulent ocean of history and as if he now had to find a foot-hold in the drifting whirlpool.

  • In the world man alone is the reality which is accessible to me. Here is presence, nearness, fullness, life.

  • Man is the place at which and through which everything that is real exists for us at all.

  • To fail to be human would mean to slip into nothingness.
