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.

All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveller is unaware.

You should carefully observe the way toward which your heart draws you, then choose this way with all your strength.

We can be redeemed only to the extent to which we see ourselves.

The I of the basic word I-Thou is different from that of the basic word I-It.

God cannot be seen, but He can listened to and spoken to!

It is usual to think of good and evil as two poles, two opposite directions, the antithesis of one another...We must begin by doing away with this convention.
