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.

When I meet a man, I am not concerned about his opinions. I am concerned about the man.

If you want to raise a man from mud and filth, do not think it is enough to stay on top and reach a helping hand down to him. You must go all the way down yourself, down into mud and filth. Then take hold of him with strong hands and pull him and yourself out into the light.

Our relationships live in the space between us which is sacred.

Nothing so tends to mask the face of God as religion; it can be a substitute for God himself.

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

The future stands in need of you in order to be born.
