The soul will bring forth Person if God laughs into her and she laughs back to him. To speak in parable, the Father laughs into the Son and the Son laughs back to the Father; and this laughter breeds liking and liking breeds joy, and joy begets love, and love begets Person, and Person begets the Holy Ghost.
Meister EckhartIf I say that God is good, that is not true. God is not good. I am good, and if I say that God is wise, that is not true. I am wiser than he is.
Meister EckhartThe now wherein God made the world is as near this time as the now I am speaking in this moment, and the last day is as near this now as was yesterday.
Meister EckhartTo be properly expressed a thing must proceed from within, moved by its form: it must come, not in from without but out from within.
Meister EckhartI will be silent and will hear what God will say in me...If God wishes to speak to me, let him enter. I will not go out.
Meister Eckhart
