Being Is Transcended By A Concern For Being. Our Perplexity Will Not Be Solved By Relating Human Existence To A Timeless, Subpersonal Abstraction Which We Call Essence. We Can Do Justice To Human Being Only By Relating It To The Transcendent Care For Being.

Faith Is Not The Clinging To A Shrine But An Endless Pilgrimage Of The Heart. Audacious Longing, Burning Songs, Daring Thoughts, An Impulse Overwhelming The Heart, Usurping The Mind--these Are All A Drive Towards Serving Him Who Rings Our Hearts Like A Bell. It Is As If He Were Waiting To Enter Our Empty, Perishing Lives.

People Of Our Time Are Losing The Power Of Celebration. Instead Of Celebrating We Seek To Be Amused Or Entertained. Celebration Is An Active State, An Act Of Expressing Reverence Or Appreciation. To Be Entertained Is A Passive State--it Is To Receive Pleasure Afforded By An Amusing Act Or A Spectacle.... Celebration Is A Confrontation, Giving Attention To The Transcendent Meaning Of One's Actions. Source: The Wisdom Of Heschel
