“For sin is just this, what man cannot by its very nature do with his whole being…” — Martin Buber

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.

Through the Thou a person becomes I.

God wants man to fulfill his commands as a human being and with the quality peculiar to human beings.

The law is not thrust upon man; it rests deep within him, to waken when the call comes.
