"We come closer to the mystery of what is today in truth in the technologically determined world when we simply recognize the demand, which speaks forth to humans in what is peculiar to modern technology and which orders them to challenge nature forth in its energy, instead of making way for it by helplessly positing ends that are limited to the protection of humanity" (Martin Heidegger, "Traditional and Technological Language" p.138).
"However, as long as the human being's relationship to those beings that surround and carry it, as well as to the being which it itself is, rests on the letting-appear, on the spoken and unspoken saying, the attack of the technological language on what is peculiar to language is at the same time the threat to the human being's ownmost essence" (Martin Heidegger, Ibid, p.141).
