"To stamp becoming with the character of being: that is the supreme will to power." This suggests that becoming only is if it is grounded in being as being: "That everything recurs is the closest approximation of a world of becoming to one of being."

    For anyone who at the end of Western philosophy can and must still question philosophically, the decisive question is no longer merely "What basic character do beings manifest?" Or "How may the being of beings be characterized?" But "What is this' being'itself?" The decisive question is that of "the meaning of being," not merely that of the being of beings.
    Martin Heidegger
