More quotes by Martin Buber

Martin Buber

Martin Buber
Before his death, Rabbi Zusya said In the coming world, they will not ask me: 'Why were you not Moses?' They will ask me: 'Why were you not Zusya?
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
Feeling one has love occurs.
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
The prophet is appointed to oppose the kind, and even more: history.
Martin Buber
We may listen to our inner self-and still not know which ocean we hear roaring.
Martin Buber
God made so many different kinds of people why would God allow only one way to worship?
Martin Buber
