For whoever pronounces the word God and really means Thou, addresses, no matter what his delusion, the true Thou of his life that cannot be restricted by any other and to whom he stands in a relationship that includes all others.

I shall concern myself anew about the boundary
Between the love-deed-Yes and the power-deed-No

Cannot escape the compulsion
To afflict the world,
So let us, cautious in diction
And mighty in contradiction,
Love powerfully.</p

As quoted in Martin Buber : An Intimate Portrait (1971), p. 56
Contexto: I do not accept any absolute formulas for living. No preconceived code can see ahead to everything that can happen in a man's life. As we live, we grow and our beliefs change.

We should stake our whole existence on our willingness to explore and experience.
