Carl Schmitt The Concept of the Political
The specific political distinction to which political actions and motives can be reduced is that between friend and enemy.
Ortega y Gasset The Revolt of the Masses
The multitude has suddenly become visible, installing itself in the preferential positions in society. Before, if it existed, it passed unnoticed, occupying the background of the social stage; now it has advanced to the footlights and is the principal character. There are no longer protagonists; there is only the chorus. p.13
Karl Jaspers Man in the Modern Age
No definite or convincing answer can be given to the question" 'What is going to happen?" Man, living man, will answer this question through his own being, in the course of his own activities. A forecast of the future (the 'active forecast' now in the making, the forecast which will become one of the determinants of the future) can aim only at rendering mankind aware of itself. p. 228

Walter Benjamin The Origin of German Tragic Drama
The intrigue alone would have been able to bring about that allegorical totality of scenic reorganization, thanks to which one of the images of the sequence stands out, in the image of the apotheosis, as different in kind, and gives mourning at one and the same time the cue for its entry and its exit. The powerful design of this form should be though through to its conclusion; only under this condition is it possible to discuss the idea of the German Trauerspiel. In the ruins of great buildings the idea of the plan speaks more impressively than in lesser buildings, however well preserved they are; and for this reason the German Trauerspiel merits interpretation. In the spirit of allegory it is conceived from the outset as a ruin, a fragment. Others may shine resplendently as on the first day; this form preserves the image of beauty to the very last. p.235
Heidegger Being and Time
"Läßt sich die Zeit selbst als Horizont des Seins offenbaren? Ist die Zeit selbst der Modus der Zeitlichkeit, oder ist diese nur ein Modus der Zeit? Ist die Zeit selbst das Ziel des Entwurfs, oder ist sie nur der Horizont des Seins? Welcher Art ist dieser Unterschied zwischen Sein und Zeit? Die Untersuchung ist auf dem Wege — wohin?"
