    Abraham Joshua Heschel (2005). “The Sabbath”, p.22, Macmillan

    Abraham Joshua Heschel (2005). “The Sabbath”, p.26, Macmillan
  • There are few ideas in the world of thought which contain so much spiritual power as the idea of the Sabbath. Aeons hence, when of many of our cherished theories only shreds will remain, that cosmic tapestry will continue to shine.

  • There is a realm of time where the goal is not to have but to be, not to own but to give, not to control but to share, not to subdue but to be in accord. Life goes wrong when the control of space, the acquisition of things of space, becomes our sole concern.
