More quotes by Martin Buber
When we rise out of [the night] into the new life and there begin to receive the signs, what can we know of that which - of him who gives them to us? Only what we experience from time to time from the signs themselves. If we name the speaker of this speech God, then it is always the God of a moment, a moment God.
Martin Buber
When two people relate to each other authentically and humanly, God is the electricity that surges between them.
Martin Buber
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
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
God is the mysterium tremendum, that appears and overthrows, but he is also the mystery of the self-evident, nearer to me than my I.
Martin Buber
When a man has made peace within himself, he will be able to make peace in the whole world.
Martin Buber
To him who knows how to read the legend, it conveys more truth than the chronicle.
Martin Buber
We can be redeemed only to the extent to which we see ourselves.
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
The law is not thrust upon man it rests deep within him, to waken when the call comes.
Martin Buber
The tradition of the camp fire faces that of the pyramid.
Martin Buber
I'm not sure I can take your advice. You are dealing with English Gentlemen. We are dealing with monsters.
Martin Buber
One need ask only 'What for? What am I to unify my being for?' The reply is: Not for my own sake.
Martin Buber
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.
Martin Buber
You can rake the muck this way, rake the muck that way-- it will always be muck. Have I sinned or have I not sinned? In the time I am brooding over it, I could be stringing pearls for the delight of Heaven
Martin Buber
To look away from the world, or to stare at it, does not help a man to reach God but he who sees the world in Him stands in His presence.
Martin Buber
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
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
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
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
