Image
When a man grows aware of a new way in which to serve God, he should carry it around with him secretly, and without uttering it, for nine months, as though he were pregnant with it, and let others know of it only at the end of that time, as though it were a birth.
Martin Buber
Image
In the beginning was the relationship.
Martin Buber
Image
When two people relate to each other authentically and humanly, God is the electricity that surges between them.
Martin Buber
Image
All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveller is unaware.
Martin Buber
Image
What is it that is eternal: the primal phenomenon, present in the here and now, of what we call revelation? It is man's emerging from the moment of the supreme encounter, being no longer the same as he was when entering into it.
Martin Buber
Image

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
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
Let us, cautious in diction, And mighty in contradiction, Love powerfully.
Martin Buber
Image
The future stands in need of you in order to be born.
Martin Buber
Image
Without being and remaining oneself, there is no love.
Martin Buber
Image
I think no human being can give more than this. Making life possible for the other, if only for a moment.
Martin Buber
Image
The ones who count are those persons who - though they may be of little renown - respond to and are responsible for the continuation of the living spirit.
Martin Buber
Image
And if there were a devil it would not be one who decided against God, but one who, in eternity, came to no decision.
Martin Buber
Image
Persons appear by entering into relation to other persons.
Martin Buber
Image
This is the sacrifice: the endless possibility that is offered up on the altar of the form.
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.

Read the Bible as though it were something entirely unfamiliar, as though it had not been set before you ready-made. Face the book with a new attitude as something new.
