I do not accept any absolute ...

I do not accept any absolute formulas for living. No preconceived code can see ahead to everything that can happen in a man's life. As we live, we grow and our beliefs change. They must change. So I think we should live with this constant discovery. We should be open to this adventure in heightened awareness of living. We should stake our whole existence on our willingness to explore and experience.

Martin Buber 156 quotes

In spite of all similarities,...

In spite of all similarities, every living situation has, like a newborn child, a new face, that has never been before and will never come again. It demands of you a reaction that cannot be prepared beforehand. It demands nothing of what is past. It demands presence, responsibility; it demands you.

Martin Buber 156 quotes

Man wishes to be confirmed in...

Man wishes to be confirmed in his being by man, and wishes to have a presence in the being of the other…. Secretly and bashfully he watches for a YES which allows him to be and which can come to him only from one human person to another.

There is something that can be found in one place. It is a great treasure which may be called the fulfillment of existence. The place where this treasure can be found is the place where one stands

When I meet a man, I am not concerned about his opinions. I am concerned about the man.

Martin Buber 156 quotes

You do not attain to knowledg...

You do not attain to knowledge by remaining on the shore and watching the foaming waves, you must make the venture and cast yourself in, you must swim, alert and with all your force, even if a moment comes when you think you are losing consciousness; in this way, and in no other, do you reach anthropological insight.

Martin Buber 156 quotes

Egos appear by setting themselves apart from other egos.Persons appear byentering into relationwith other persons.

Martin Buber 156 quotes

The perpetual enemy of faith ...

The perpetual enemy of faith in the true God is not atheism (the claim that there is no God), but rather Gnosticism (the claim that God is known).

Martin Buber 156 quotes

What has to be given up is no...

What has to be given up is not the I, but that drive for self-affirmation which impels man to flee from the unreliable, unsolid, unlasting, unpredictable, dangerous world of relation into the having of things.

Martin Buber 156 quotes

The real struggle is not betw...

The real struggle is not between East and West, or capitalism and communism, but between education and propaganda.

Martin Buber 156 quotes

When people come to you for h...

When people come to you for help, do not turn them off with pious words, saying, 'Have faith and take your troubles to God.' Act instead as though there were no God, as though there were only one person in the world who could help -- only yourself.

All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveller is unaware.

Martin Buber 156 quotes

All names of God remain hallo...

All names of God remain hallowed because they have been used not only to speak of God but also to speak to him.

Martin Buber 156 quotes

Nothing can doom man but the belief in doom, for this prevents the movement of return.

Martin Buber 156 quotes

God made so many different kinds of people; why would God allow only one way to worship?

Martin Buber 156 quotes

A story must be told in such ...

A story must be told in such a way that it constitutes help in itself. My grandfather was lame. Once they asked him to tell a story about his teacher. And he related how the holy Baal Shem used to hop and dance while he prayed. My grandfather rose as he spoke, and he was so swept away by his story that he himself began to hop and dance to show how the master had done. From that hour he was cured of his lameness. That's how to tell a story.

Martin Buber 156 quotes

A human being becomes whole not in virtue of a relation to himself [only] but rather in virtue of an authentic relation to another human being(s).

Martin Buber 156 quotes

Real faith means holding ourselves open to the unconditional mystery which we encounter in every sphere of our life and which cannot be comprised in any formula. Real faith means the ability to endure life in the face of this mystery.
