More quotes by Martin Buber
Every morning, I shall concern myself anew about the boundary, Between the love-deed-Yes and the power-deed-No, And pressing forward honor reality. We cannot avoid, Using power, Cannot escape the compulsion, To afflict the world, So let us, cautious in diction, And mighty in contradiction, Love powerfully.
Martin Buber
I think no human being can give more than this. Making life possible for the other, if only for a moment.
Martin Buber
Play is the exultation of the possible.
Martin Buber
All actual life is encounter.
Martin Buber
When a man has made peace within himself, he will be able to make peace in the whole world.
Martin Buber
I shall teach you the best way to say Torah. You must cease to be aware of yourselves. You must be nothing but an ear that hears what the universe of the word is constantly saying within you. The moment you start hearing what you yourself are saying, YOU must stop.
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
The beating heart of the universe is holy joy.
Martin Buber
In the ice of solitude man becomes most inexorably a question to himself, and just because the question pitilessly summons and draws into play his most secret life he becomes an experience to himself.
Martin Buber
There is no room for God in him who is full of himself.
Martin Buber
Our relationships live in the space between us which is sacred.
Martin Buber
This is the sacrifice: the endless possibility that is offered up on the altar of the form.
Martin Buber
The tradition of the camp fire faces that of the pyramid.
Martin Buber
Only men who are capable of saying Thou [an attitude of deep respect] to one another can truly say we with one another.
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
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
Persons appear by entering into relation to other persons.
Martin Buber
In the beginning was the relationship.
Martin Buber
The law is not thrust upon man it rests deep within him, to waken when the call comes.
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
