Language/Thinking/Heidegger/Cardorff: "Thinking accomplishes the relation of being to the essence of the human. It does not do and effect this reference. Thinking merely offers him what is given to himself by being, to being. In thinking, being is expressed. Language is the house of being."
Language/Heidegger: In its essence neither expression nor an activity of human. The language speaks.
