There is no room for God in him who is full of himself.
Martin Buber

Image
Persons appear by entering into relation to other persons.
Martin Buber

One must be truly able to say I in order to know the mystery of the Thou in its whole truth.
Martin Buber

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 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
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
Image
Our relationships live in the space between us which is sacred.
Martin Buber
Image
So long as you have yourself, have yourself as an object, your experience of man is only as of a thing among things.
Martin Buber
Image
Jedes geeinzelte Du ist ein Durchblick zu ihm. Durch jedes geeinzelte Du spricht das Grundwort das Ewige an. Every particularThou is a glimpse through to the eternal Thou by means of every particularThou the primary word addresses the eternal Thou. 164
