Martin Buber
The salvation of man does not lie in his holding himself far removed from the worldly, but in consecrating it to holy, to divine meaning.
Martin Buber

All actual life is encounter.
Martin Buber

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
Human life and humanity come into being in genuine encounters. The hope for this hour depends upon the renewal of the immediacy of dialogue among human beings.
Martin Buber
I'm not sure I can take your advice. You are dealing with English Gentlemen. We are dealing with monsters.
Martin Buber
I don't like religion much, and I am glad that in the Bible the word is not to be found.
Martin Buber
The beating heart of the universe is holy joy.
Martin Buber
