"REMEMBER, THAT THERE IS MEANING BEYOND ABSURDITY. KNOW THAT EVERY DEED COUNTS, THAT EVERY WORD IS POWER . . . ABOVE ALL, REMEMBER THAT YOU MUST BUILD YOUR LIFE AS IF IT WERE A WORK OF ART" - Abraham Heschel
"Faith is a blush in the presence of God"
"We must beware lest we violate the holy,
lest our dogmas overthink mystrey,
lest our psalms sing it away."
"Man's sin is in his failure to live what he is."
"Religion is not 'what man does with his solitariness.'
Religion is what man does with the presence of God."
"Six days a week we wrestle with the world, wringing profit from the earth.; on the Sabbath we especially care for the seed of eternity planted in the soul. The world has our hands, but our soul belongs to Someone Else. Six days a week we seek to dominate the world, on the seventh day we try to dominate the self."
(excerpts from Abraham Heschel I Asked For Wonder (Crossroad, 2001).
