Feelings dwell in man; but man dwells in his love. That is no metaphor, but the actual truth. Love does not cling to the I in such a way as to have the Thou only for its " content," its object; but love is between I and Thou. The man who does not know this, with his very being know this, does not know love; even though he ascribes to it the feelings he lives through, experiences, enjoys, and expresses.

Human life and humanity come into being in genuine encounters. The hope for this hour depends upon the renewal of the immediacy of dialogue among human beings.

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

To him who knows how to read the legend, it conveys more truth than the chronicle.

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.

To look away from the world, or to stare at it, does not help a man to reach God; but he who sees the world in Him stands in His presence.

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