Quote by Buber, Martin

"The primary word I-Thou can be spoken only with the whole being. Concentration and fusion into the whole being can never take place through me, can never take place without me. I become through my relation to the Thou; as I become I, I say Thou."

Buber, Martin Philosophy
Philosopher-Theologian Austrian-Jewish 1878–1965
