More quotes by Abraham Joshua Heschel

Abraham Joshua Heschel
To pray is to dream in league with God, to envision His holy visions.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
The man who has not suffered - what does he know anyway?
Abraham Joshua Heschel
When we pray, we bring G-d into the world

Society today is no longer in revolt against particular laws which it finds alien, unjust, and imposed, but against law as such, against the principle of law. And yet we must not regard this revolt as entirely negative. The energy that rejects many obsolete laws is an entirely positive impulse for renewal of life and law.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
Man's sin is in his failure to live what he is. Being the master of the earth, man forgets that he is the servant of God.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
Wonder or radical amazement is the chief characteristic of the religious man's attitude toward history and nature.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
God is not a hypothesis derived from logical assumptions, but an immediate insight, self-evident as light. He is not something to be sought in the darkness with the light of reason. He is the light.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
To become aware of the ineffable is to part company with words.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
It is of the essence of virtue that the good is not to be done for the sake of a reward.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
We can never sneer at the stars, mock the dawn, or scoff at the totality of being.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
