More quotes by Martin Buber
The basic word I-Thou can be spoken only with one's whole being. The concentration and fusion into a whole being can never be accomplished by me, can never be accomplished without me. I require a Thou to become becoming I, I say Thou.
Martin Buber
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
In the beginning was the relationship.
Martin Buber
What has to be given up is not the I, as most mystics suppose: this I is indispensable for any relationship, including the highest, which always presupposes an I and You.
Martin Buber
The prophet is appointed to oppose the kind, and even more: history.
Martin Buber
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
When a man has made peace within himself, he will be able to make peace in the whole world.
Martin Buber
Power abdicates only under the stress of counter-power.
Martin Buber
We should also pray for the wicked among the peoples of the world we should love them too.
Martin Buber
Feeling one has love occurs.
Martin Buber
I shall teach you the best way to say Torah. You must cease to be aware of yourselves. You must be nothing but an ear that hears what the universe of the word is constantly saying within you. The moment you start hearing what you yourself are saying, YOU must stop.
Martin Buber
Nothing can doom man but the belief in doom, for this prevents the movement of return.
Martin Buber
Everything is full of sacramental substance, everything. Each thing and each function is ever ready to light up into a sacrament.
Martin Buber
This is the sacrifice: the endless possibility that is offered up on the altar of the form.
Martin Buber
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.
Martin Buber
God wants man to fulfill his commands as a human being and with the quality peculiar to human beings.
Martin Buber
Only men who are capable of saying Thou [an attitude of deep respect] to one another can truly say we with one another.
Martin Buber
Everyone has in him something precious that is in no one else.
Martin Buber
Creation happens to us, burns into us, changes us, we tremble and swoon, we submit. Creation - we participate in it, we encounter the creator, offer ourselves to him, helpers and companions.
Martin Buber
The world is not divine sport, it is divine destiny. There is a divine meaning of the world, of man, of human persons, of you and me.
Martin Buber
