I shall teach you the best way to say Torah. You must cease to be aware of yourselves. You must be nothing but an ear that hears what the universe of the word is constantly saying within you. The moment you start hearing what you yourself are saying, YOU must stop.

We should also pray for the wicked among the peoples of the world; we should love them too.

All actual life is encounter.

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

One cannot in the nature of things expect a little tree that has been turned into a club to put forth leaves.

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.

What you must do is love your neighbor as yourself. There is no one who knows your many faults better than you! But you love yourself notwithstanding. And so you must love your neighbor, no matter how many faults you see in him.
