Existence and Being

Quote by
The wonder that a world is worlding around us at all, that there are beings rather than nothing, that things are and we ourselves are in their midst, that we ourselves are and yet barely know who we are, and barely know that we do not know all this—this wonder is itself the most profound and most difficult question that one can pose. It is the essence of our most fundamental concern, and it is what all metaphysical inquiry seeks to uncover. Martin Heidegger
