More quotes by Martin Buber
All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveller is unaware.
Martin Buber
To him who knows how to read the legend, it conveys more truth than the chronicle.
Martin Buber
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.
Martin Buber
Persons appear by entering into relation to other persons.
Martin Buber
No purpose intervenes between I and You, no greed and no anticipation and longing itself is changed as it plunges from the dream into appearance. Every means is an obstacle. Only where all means have disintegrated encounters occur.
Martin Buber
Let us, cautious in diction, And mighty in contradiction, Love powerfully.
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
Play is the exultation of the possible.
Martin Buber
Without being and remaining oneself, there is no love.
Martin Buber
There are people of spirit and there are people of passion, both less common than one might think. Rarer still are the people of spirit and passion. But rarest of all is a passionable spirit.
Martin Buber
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
God made so many different kinds of people why would God allow only one way to worship?
Martin Buber
When a man has made peace within himself, he will be able to make peace in the whole world.
Martin Buber
The world is not divine sport, it is divine destiny. There is a divine meaning of the world, of man, of human persons, of you and me.
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
God dwells wherever man lets Him in.
Martin Buber
There is no room for God in him who is full of himself.
Martin Buber
What you must do is love your neighbor as yourself. There is no one who knows your many faults better than you! But you love yourself notwithstanding. And so you must love your neighbor, no matter how many faults you see in him.
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
The beating heart of the universe is holy joy.
Martin Buber
