“That peoples can no longer carry on authentic dialogue
with one another is not only the most acute symptom
of the pathology of our time, it is also that which
most urgently makes a demand of us. I believe,
despite all, that the peoples in this hour can enter
into dialogue, into a genuine dialogue with one another.
In a genuine dialogue each of the partners, even
when he stands in opposition to the other, heeds,
affirms, and confirms his opponent as an existing other.”
― Martin Buber, Jewish theologian
Tomorrow is Martin Buber's birthday (b. 1878)
