"The combat designated here is an originating one, for this combat brings forth combatants as such, not simply the assault given to a subsistent thing. Combat is that which first of all draws up and develops the unheard of, up to then unsaid and unthought. The combat is then underpinned by those who strive: poets, thinkers, statesmen. When the combat ceases, that which is does not disappear, but the world turns away." M. Heidegger
