The beginning of our happiness lies in the understanding that life without wonder is not worth living.
Abraham Joshua HeschelTo pray is to take notice of the wonder, to regain a sense of the mystery that animates all beings, the divine margin in all attainments.
Abraham Joshua HeschelAwe enables us to see in the world intimations of the divine, to sense in small things the beginning of infinite significance, to sense the ultimate in the common and the simple, to feel in the rush of the passing the stillness of the eternal.
Abraham Joshua HeschelHe who is satisfied has never truly craved, and he who craves for the light of God neglects his ease for ardor.
