is constitutive of entities in that I cannot be aware of an entity as such unless I am aware of alternative possibilities, and these depend on a wider whole.

We cannot be aware of beings as such if we do not transcend beings to the WORLD or to beings as a whole, since I cannot be aware of an entity as such unless I am aware of alternative POSSIBILITIES, and these depend on a wider whole (XXIX, 528ff.). Nor can I properly exist unless by transcending beings I can choose to conduct myself to this being or to that. (inwood 'heidegger' : 236)

is, for God, impossible... only the impossible is possible for God, because the possible he has given over to the mechanics of matter and the autonomy of his creatures.

It is only the impossible that is possible for God. He has given over the possible to the mechanics of matter and the autonomy of his creatures. Simone Weil

is an abundance of thoughts and ideas, which, when held out too long in the abstract, becomes as unpleasant as the anxiety suffered by a cow that is not milked on time.

is dangerous when not limited. The self becomes lost in possibility when it has lost the power to obey, to submit to the necessity in one's life, to what may be called one's limitations.

When a self becomes lost in possibility in this way, it is not merely because of a lack of energy... at least it is not to be interpreted in the usual way. What is missing is essentially the power to obey, to submit to the necessity in one's life, to what may be called one's limitations.

 never disappoints. A passion for possibility sees more everywhere. 

My soul has lost possibility. If I were to wish for something, I would wish not for wealth or power but for the passion of possibility, for the eye, eternally young, eternally ardent, that sees possibility everywhere. Pleasure disappoints... possibility does not.

is a remedy for despair just as water is the remedy to someone who has fainted. Just as when someone faints we call for 'water, water, water', when one is in despair we must call for 'possibility, possibility, possibility', for without possibility a person is unable to breathe, but with it, a person in despair breathes again, he revives again.

When someone faints, we call for water, eau de Cologne, smelling salts... but when someone wants to despair, and the word is: Get possibility, get possibility, possibility is the only salvation. A possibility'then the person in despair breathes again, he revives again, for without possibility a person seems unable to breathe.

possibility, n.All
