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

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

Martin Buber
There are three principles in a man's being and life, the principle of thought, the principle of speech, and the principle of action. The origin of all conflict between me and my fellow-men is that I do not say what I mean and I don't do what I say.
Martin Buber

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

Martin Buber
