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 - Martin Buber

There are three principles in a man's being and life:
The principle of thought, the principle of speech,
and the principle of action. The origin of all conflict
between me and my fellow-men is that I do not
say what I mean and I don't do what I say.

God ... demands everything, in order to give everything anew to him who loves Him, after that loving has truly given up all.

Man must be free of it all, of his bad conscience and of the bad salvation from this conscience in order to become in truth the way. Now, he no longer promises others the fulfillment of his duties, but promises himself the fulfillment of man.
