Lovers are the ones who know most about God; the theologian must listen to them.

The Holy Spirit knows what a particular age's most pressing need is far better than men with their programs.

Beauty is the disinterested one, without which the ancient world refused to understand itself, a word which both imperceptibly and yet unmistakably has bid farewell to our new world, a world of interests, leaving it to its own avarice and sadness.

Not longer loved or fostered by religion, beauty is lifted from its face as a mask, and its absence exposes features on that face which threaten to become incomprehensible to man.

Thus it is necessary to commence from an inescapable duality: the finite is not the infinite.

Love alone is credible.

There is much in Christianity which can be subjected to exact analysis. But the ultimate things are shrouded in the silent mysteries of God.
