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.

More quotes by Martin Buber
It pains me to speak of God in the third person.
Martin Buber
To love God truly, one must first love man. And if anyone tells you that he loves God and does not love his fellow-man, you will know that he is lying.
Martin Buber
This is the risk: the primary word can only be spoken with the whole being. He who gives himself to it may withhold nothing of himself.
Martin Buber
Human life and humanity come into being in genuine encounters. The hope for this hour depends upon the renewal of the immediacy of dialogue among human beings.
Martin Buber
Play is the exultation of the possible.
Martin Buber
When a man has made peace within himself, he will be able to make peace in the whole world.
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
All actual life is encounter.
Martin Buber
Man wishes to be confirmed in his being by man, and wishes to have a presence in the being of the other…. Secretly and bashfully he watches for a YES which allows him to be and which can come to him only from one human person to another.
Martin Buber
If a person kills a tree before its time, it is like having murdered a soul.-Rabbi Nachman
Martin Buber
When two people relate to each other authentically and humanly, God is the electricity that surges between them.
Martin Buber
No purpose intervenes between I and You, no greed and no anticipation and longing itself is changed as it plunges from the dream into appearance. Every means is an obstacle. Only where all means have disintegrated encounters occur.
Martin Buber
We can be redeemed only to the extent to which we see ourselves.
Martin Buber
Everything is full of sacramental substance, everything. Each thing and each function is ever ready to light up into a sacrament.
Martin Buber
We may listen to our inner self-and still not know which ocean we hear roaring.
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
All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveller is unaware.
Martin Buber
In the beginning was the relationship.
Martin Buber
Our relationships live in the space between us which is sacred.
Martin Buber
We can learn to be whole by saying what we mean and doing what we say.
