When I confront a human being ...

When I confront a human being as my Thou and speak the basic word I-Thou to him, then he is no thing among things nor does he consist of things. He is no longer He or She, a dot in the world grid of space and time, nor a condition to be experienced and described, a loose bundle of named qualities. Neighborless and seamless, he is Thou and fills the firmament. Not as if there were nothing but he; but everything else lives in his light.

The atheist staring from his a...

The atheist staring from his attic window is often nearer to God than the believer caught up in his own false image of God.

If we had the power over the e...

If we had the power over the ends of the earth, it would not give us that fulfillment of existence which a quiet devoted relationship to nearby life can give us.

Creation is not a hurdle on the road to God, it is the road itself.

Martin Buber 156 quotes

I do not accept any absolute f...

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

Power abdicates only under stress of counter-power.

Inscrutably involved, we live in the currents of universal reciprocity.

I have to tell it again and ag...

I have to tell it again and again: I have no doctrine. I only point out something. I point out reality, I point out something in reality which has not or too little been seen. I take him who listens to me at his hand and lead him to the window. I push open the window and point outside. I have no doctrine, I carry on a dialogue.

Martin Buber 156 quotes

Nothing can doom man but the b...

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

One must be truly able to say I in order to know the mystery of the Thou in its whole truth.

Martin Buber 156 quotes

The perfection of any matter, ...

The perfection of any matter, the highest or the lowest, touches on the divine.

Martin Buber 156 quotes

From my youth onwards I have f...

From my youth onwards I have found in Jesus my great brother. That Christianity has regarded and does regard him as God and Savior has always appeared to me a fact of the highest importance which, for his sake and my own, I must endeavor to understand . . . I am more than ever certain that a great place belongs to him in Israel's history of faith and that this place cannot be described by any of the usual categories.

Martin Buber 156 quotes

Religion means goal and way, p...

Religion means goal and way, politics implies end and means. The political end is recognizable by the fact that it may be attained--in success--and its attainment is historically recorded. The religious goal remains, even in man's highest experiences, that which simply provides direction on the mortal way; it never enters into historical consummation.

We can learn to be whole by saying what we mean and doing what we say.

Our relationships live in the space between us which is sacred.

Eclipse of the light of heaven...

Eclipse of the light of heaven, eclipse of God - such indeed is the character of the historic hour through which the world is now passing

Martin Buber 156 quotes

For sin is just this, what man...

For sin is just this, what man cannot by its very nature do with his whole being; it is possible to silence the conflict in the soul, but it is not possible to uproot it

All real living is meeting.

And if there were a devil it would not be one who decided against God, but one who, in eternity, came to no decision.

Martin Buber 156 quotes

You can rake the muck this way...

You can rake the muck this way, rake the muck that way-- it will always be muck. Have I sinned or have I not sinned? In the time I am brooding over it, I could be stringing pearls for the delight of Heaven
