That's all an angel is....an idea of God.

A life of rest and peace in God is good; a life of pain lived in patience is still better; but to have peace in a life of pain is best of all.

Our bodily food is changed into us, but our spiritual food changes us into it.

It is in the darkness that one finds the light.

The shell must be cracked apart if what is in it is to come out, for if you want the kernel you must break the shell. And therefore if you want to discover nature's nakedness you must destroy its symbols, and the farther you get in the nearer you come to its essence. When you come to the One that gathers all things up into itself, there you must stay.

Love is as strong as death, as hard as Hell. Death separates the soul from the body, but love separates all things from the soul.

I do not find God outside myself or conceive him except as my own and in me.
