“The idolizers of "facts" never realize that their idols shine only in a borrowed light. They are indeed not supposed to realize that, for it would immediately make them perplexed and, accordingly, useless. But idolizers and idols are used only when the gods are absconding and so are announcing their nearness.”
― Martin Heidegger, Contributions to Philosophy (Of the Event)

“A magic dwells in each beginning,
protecting us, telling us how to live.”
