Abraham Joshua Heschel Quotes

Much of what the Bible demands can be comprised in one imperative: Remember! Picture Quote #1

Faith opens our hearts for the entrance of the holy. It is almost as though God were thinking for us Picture Quote #1

Man's sin is in his failure to live what he is. Being the master of the Earth, man forgets that he is the servant of God Picture Quote #1

The supremacy of expediency is being refuted by time and truth. Time is an essential dimension of existence defiant of man's power, and truth reigns in supreme majesty, unrivaled, inimitable, and can never be defeated Picture Quote #1

Wonder, or radical amazement, is a way of going beyond what is given in thing and thought, refusing to take anything for granted, to regard anything as final. It is our honest response to the grandeur and mystery of reality our confrontation with that which transcends the given Picture Quote #1

Acceptance is appreciation, and the high value of appreciation is such that to appreciate appreciation seems to be the fundamental prerequisite for survival. Mankind will not die for lack of information; it may perish for lack of appreciation Picture Quote #1

God is not a hypothesis derived from logical assumptions, but an immediate insight, self-evident as light. He is not something to be sought in the darkness with the light of reason. He is the light Picture Quote #1

Those of faith who plant sacred thoughts in the uplands of time, the secret gardeners of the Lord in mankind's desolate hopes, may slacken and tarry but rarely betray their vocation Picture Quote #1

Everything is phenomenal; everything is incredible; never treat life casually. To be spiritual is to be amazed Picture Quote #1

We do not step out of the world when we pray; we merely see the world in a different setting. The self is not the hub but the spoke of the revolving wheel. It is precisely the function of prayer to shift the center of living from self consciousness to self surrender Picture Quote #1
