This is the eternal origin of art that a human being confronts a form that wants to become a work through him. Not a figment of his soul but something that appears to the soul and demands the soul's creative power. What is required is a deed that a man does with his whole being.. Martin Buber
When I confront a human being as my Thou and speak the basic word I-Thou to him, then he is no thing among things nor does he consist of things. He is no longer He or She, a dot in the world grid of space and time, nor a condition to be experienced and described, a loose bundle of named qualities. Neighborless and seamless, he is Thou and fills the firmament. Not as if there were nothing but he; but everything else lives in his light. Martin Buber
I do, indeed, close my door at times and surrender myself to a book, but only because I can open the door again and see a human face looking at me. Martin Buber
That I discovered the deed that intends me, that, this movement of my freedom, reveals the mystery to me. But this, too, that I cannot accomplish it the way I intended it, this resistance also reveals the mystery to me. He that forgets all being caused as he decides from the depths, he that puts aside possessions and cloak and steps bare before the countenance--this free human being encounters fate as the counter-image of his freedom. It is not his limit but his completion; freedom and fate... Martin Buber
Martin Buber quote: "When two people relate to each other authentically and..."
When two people relate to each other authentically and humanly, God is the electricity that surges between them. 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
Martin Buber quote: "God wants man to fulfill his commands as a human being and..."
God wants man to fulfill his commands as a human being and with the quality peculiar to human beings. Martin Buber
As long as the firmament of the You is spread over me, the tempests of causality cower at my heels, and the whirl of doom congeals. The human being to whom I say You I do not experience. But i stand in relation to him, in the sacred basic word. Only when I step out of this do I experience him again. Experience is remoteness from You. Martin Buber
A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for. Martin Buber
