• Like Nietzsche, Heidegger also gave up on the prospect that schools and universities would nurture the kind of reflective openness to the way of things that, certainly by the 1940s, he identified with authentic thinking. The authentic person is not the Promethean, iron-willed figure that pops up in Nietzsche, but someone more like the Daoist sages whom Heidegger admired.

• Entonces el sol rompió por encima de la cresta de las colinas y toda la campiña parecía empapada en sangre, los arroyos profundamente ensombrecidos, los conos de los volcanes muertos descarnados y de color galleta contra el cielo. Podía oler los piñones, la salvia húmeda, el humo del bosque, el ganado en los pastos y el agua de los arroyos derretida por la nieve. Podía oler cómo era probablemente el país cuando sólo era un sueño en la mente de Dios.

• La gente es tímida y se disculpa; ya no es recta; no se atreve a decir "pienso", "soy", sino que cita a algún santo o sabio. Se avergüenzan ante la brizna de hierba o la rosa que sopla. Estas rosas bajo mi ventana no hacen referencia a rosas anteriores o mejores; son lo que son; existen con Dios hoy.

• This is the ancient land, where wisdom made its home before it went into any other country... Here is the same India whose soil has been trodden by the feet of the greatest sages that ever lived... Look back, therefore, as far as you can, drink deep of the eternal fountains that are behind, and after that look forward, march forward, and make India brighter, greater, much higher, than she ever was.

• All of us have monarchs and sages for kinsmen; nay, angels and archangels for cousins; since in antediluvian days, the sons of God did verily wed with our mothers, the irresistible daughters of Eve. Thus all generations are blended: and heaven and earth of one kin: the hierarchies of seraphs in the uttermost skies; the thrones and principalities in the zodiac; the shades that roam throughout space; the nations and families, flocks and folds of the earth; one and all, brothers in essence-oh, be we then brothers indeed! All things form but one whole.

• Long time a child, and still a child, when years Had painted manhood on my cheek, was I; For yet I lived like one not born to die; A thriftless prodigal of smiles and tears— No hope I needed, and I knew no fears. But sleep, though sweet, is only sleep—and waking, I waked to sleep no more; at once o'ertaking The vanguard of my age, with all arrears Of duty on my back. Nor child, nor man, Nor youth, nor sage, I find my head is gray, For I have lost the race I never ran. A rathe December blights my lagging May: And still I am a child, though I be old Time is my debtor for my days untold.
