More quotes by Martin Buber

Image
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
Image
God made so many different kinds of people why would God allow only one way to worship?
Martin Buber
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I think no human being can give more than this. Making life possible for the other, if only for a moment.
Martin Buber
Image
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
Image
Every man's foremost task is the actualization of his unique, unprecedented and never-recurring potentialities, and not the repetition of something that another, and be it even the greatest, has already achieved.
Martin Buber
Image
The beating heart of the universe is holy joy.
Martin Buber
Image
As long as the firmament of the You is spread over me, the tempests of causality cower at my heels, and whirl of doom congeals.
Martin Buber
Image
An animal's eyes have the power to speak a great language.
Martin Buber
Image
Power abdicates only under the stress of counter-power.
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
Martin Buber
Image
One must be truly able to say I in order to know the mystery of the Thou in its whole truth.
Martin Buber
Image
I don't like religion much, and I am glad that in the Bible the word is not to be found.
Martin Buber
Image
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
Image
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.

I'm not sure I can take your advice. You are dealing with English Gentlemen. We are dealing with monsters.
Martin Buber
Image
If a person kills a tree before its time, it is like having murdered a soul.-Rabbi Nachman
Martin Buber
Image
And if there were a devil it would not be one who decided against God, but one who, in eternity, came to no decision.
Martin Buber

We may listen to our inner self-and still not know which ocean we hear roaring.
