All Real Living Is Meeting.

Let Us, Cautious In Diction, And Mighty In Contradiction, Love Powerfully.

When A Man Grows Aware Of A New Way In Which To Serve God, He Should Carry It Around With Him Secretly, And Without Uttering It, For Nine Months, As Though He Were Pregnant With It, And Let Others Know Of It Only At The End Of That Time, As Though It Were A Birth.

But When A Man Draws A Lifeless Thing Into His Passionate Longing For Dialogue, Lending It Independence And As It Were A Soul, Then There May Dawn In Him The Presentiment Of A World-wide Dialogue With The World-happening That Steps Up To Him Even In His Environment, Which Consists Partially Of Things. Or Do You Seriously Think That The Giving And Taking Of Signs Halts On The Threshold Of That Business Where An Honest And Open Spirit Is Found?

From My Youth Onwards I Have Found In Jesus My Great Brother. That Christianity Has Regarded And Does Regard Him As God And Savior Has Always Appeared To Me A Fact Of The Highest Importance Which, For His Sake And My Own, I Must Endeavor To Understand . . . I Am More Than Ever Certain That A Great Place Belongs To Him In Israel's History Of Faith And That This Place Cannot Be Described By Any Of The Usual Categories.

So Long As You "have" Yourself, Have Yourself As An Object, Your Experience Of Man Is Only As Of A Thing Among Things.
