Heidegger—Destining
"The essence of modern technology starts man upon the way of that revealing through which the real everywhere, more or less distinctly, becomes standing-reserve... We shall call that sending-that gathers which first starts man upon a way of revealing, destining. It is from out of this destining that the essence of all history is determined." (p.294)

Heidegger—Time & precedence
"That which is earlier with regard to the arising that holds sway becomes manifest to us men only later. That which is primarily early shows itself only ultimately to men. Therefore, in the realm of thinking, a painstaking effort to think through still more primally what was primally thought is not the absurd wish to revive what is past, but rather the sober readiness to be astounded before the coming of what is early."
