Abraham Joshua Heschel Thinking Quotations

Being points beyond itself. Accustomed to think in terms of space, the expression "being points beyond itself" may be taken to denote a higher point in space. What is meant, however, is a higher category than being: the power of maintaining being.

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

Ultimately there is no power to narcissistic, self-indulgent thinking. Authentic thinking originates with an encounter with the world.

We are closer to God when we are asking questions than when we think we have the answers.
