The world is not comprehensible, but it is embraceable: through the embracing of one of its beings.

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.

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.

Nothing can doom man but the belief in doom, for this prevents the movement of return.

Only men who are capable of saying Thou [an attitude of deep respect] to one another can truly say we with one another.

No limits are set to the ascent of man, and to each and everyone the highest stands open. Here it is only your personal choice that decides.

I think no human being can give more than this. Making life possible for the other, if only for a moment.
