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

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.

One who truly meets the world goes out also to God.

For sin is just this, what man cannot by its very nature do with his whole being; it is possible to silence the conflict in the soul, but it is not possible to uproot it

To begin with oneself but not to end with onself. To start from oneself but not to aim at oneself.

All real living is meeting.

The basic word I-Thou can be spoken only with one's whole being. The concentration and fusion into a whole being can never be accomplished by me, can never be accomplished without me. I require a Thou to become; becoming I, I say Thou.
