Abraham Joshua Heschel Quotes:
Ocupation: Rabbi
Life: January 11, 1907 - December 23, 1972
Birthday: January 11
Death: December 23
We do not step out of the world when we pray; we merely see the world in a different setting. The self is not the hub but the spoke of the revolving wheel. It is precisely the function of prayer to shift the center of living from self-consciousness to self-surrender.
