Religion means goal and way, politics implies end and means. The political end is recognizable by the fact that it may be attained--in success--and its attainment is historically recorded. The religious goal remains, even in man's highest experiences, that which simply provides direction on the mortal way; it never enters into historical consummation.
Martin BuberWhen two people relate to each other authentically and humanly, God is the electricity that surges between them.
Martin BuberAnd if there were a devil it would not be one who decided against God, but one who, in eternity, came to no decision.
