- We cannot avoid using power, cannot escape the compulsion to afflict the world, so let us, cautious in diction and mighty in contradiction, love powerfully.
- And if there were a devil it would not be one who decided against God, but one who, in eternity, came to no decision.
- 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.
- Love is responsibility of an I for a You: in this consists what cannot consist in any feeling – the equality of all lovers.

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

Martin Buber (1878-1965) was a Jewish philosopher, theologian, and scholar of religion. He was born in Vienna, Austria-Hungary (now Austria) and studied philosophy, art history, and German literature at the University of Vienna. He later moved to Germany, where he became a prominent member of the Zionist movement and a professor of Jewish philosophy and religion.
Buber is best known for his philosophy of dialogue, which emphasizes the importance of interpersonal relationships and mutual respect in human communication. He believed that true dialogue involves an I-Thou relationship, in which each person recognizes the full humanity of the other and engages in a meaningful exchange.
Buber’s work also focused on the role of religion in society and the nature of the divine. He rejected the traditional view of God as an abstract, transcendent being and instead emphasized the importance of experiencing the divine in everyday life through encounters with other people and with the natural world.
Throughout his life, Buber was involved in numerous social and political causes, including the Zionist movement, Jewish education, and efforts to promote peace and understanding between Jews and Arabs in Palestine. He wrote many influential books, including “I and Thou,” “Good and Evil,” and “The Prophetic Faith.” Buber’s legacy continues to inspire scholars and thinkers in a variety of fields, and his philosophy of dialogue remains an important contribution to the study of human communication and relationships.
