The prophet is appointed to oppose the kind, and even more: history.
Martin Buber
Image
The future stands in need of you in order to be born.
Martin Buber
Image
Every morning, I shall concern myself anew about the boundary, Between the love-deed-Yes and the power-deed-No, And pressing forward honor reality. We cannot avoid, Using power, Cannot escape the compulsion, To afflict the world, So let us, cautious in diction, And mighty in contradiction, Love powerfully.
Martin Buber
Image
Every man's foremost task is the actualization of his unique, unprecedented and never-recurring potentialities, and not the repetition of something that another, and be it even the greatest, has already achieved.
Martin Buber
Image
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.

Image
I don't like religion much, and I am glad that in the Bible the word is not to be found.
Martin Buber
Image
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.

I'm not sure I can take your advice. You are dealing with English Gentlemen. We are dealing with monsters.
Martin Buber
Image
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
Image
The law is not thrust upon man it rests deep within him, to waken when the call comes.
Martin Buber
Image
To love God truly, one must first love man. And if anyone tells you that he loves God and does not love his fellow-man, you will know that he is lying.
Martin Buber
Image
When a man has made peace within himself, he will be able to make peace in the whole world.
Martin Buber
Image
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
Image
The tradition of the camp fire faces that of the pyramid.
Martin Buber
Image
We can be redeemed only to the extent to which we see ourselves.
Martin Buber
Image
Everyone has in him something precious that is in no one else.
Martin Buber
Image
Nothing can doom man but the belief in doom, for this prevents the movement of return.
Martin Buber
Image
The beating heart of the universe is holy joy.
Martin Buber
Image
So long as you have yourself, have yourself as an object, your experience of man is only as of a thing among things.
Martin Buber
Image
When two people relate to each other authentically and humanly, God is the electricity that surges between them.
