“Standing on bare ground—my head bathed in blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space—all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eyeball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or parcel of God.”

“The mortals are the human beings. They are called mortals because they can die. To die means to be capable of death as death. Only man dies, and indeed continually, as long as he remains on earth, under the sky, before the divinities. When we speak of mortals, we are already thinking of the other three along with them, but we give no thought of the simple oneness of the four.
This simple oneness of the four we call the fourfould. Mortals are in the fourfold by dwelling. But the character of dwelling is safeguarding. Mortals dwell in the way they safe guard the fourfold in its essential unfolding. Accordingly, the safeguarding that dwells is the fourfold.”
Martin Heidegger, “Building Dwelling Thinking”.

“Mortals dwell in that they save the earth… Saving does not only snatch something from danger. To save properly means to set something free into its own essence. To save the earth is more than to exploit it or even wear it out. Saving the earth does not master the earth and does not subjugate it, which is merely one step from boundless spoliation.”
Martin Heidegger, “Building Dwelling Thinking”.
