Martin Buber

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
God wants man to fulfill his commands as a human being and with the quality peculiar to human beings.
Martin Buber
We may listen to our inner self-and still not know which ocean we hear roaring.
Martin Buber
Persons appear by entering into relation to other persons.
Martin Buber
Nothing can doom man but the belief in doom, for this prevents the movement of return.
Martin Buber
All actual life is encounter.
Martin Buber
Play is the exultation of the possible.
Martin Buber
Without being and remaining oneself, there is no love.
Martin Buber
