quotes about Heidegger

last updated: November 28, 2023

I now wish that I had spent somewhat more of my life with verse. This is not because I fear having missed out on truths that are incapable of statement in prose. There are no such truths; there is nothing about death that Swinburne and Landor knew but Epicurus and Heidegger failed to grasp. Rather, it is because I would have lived more fully if I had been able to rattle off more old chestnutsâ€‰â€”â€‰just as I would have if I had made more close friends.
-- Richard Rorty
