There is something in the soul that is so akin to God that it is one with Him... It has nothing in common with anything created.

To be properly expressed a thing must proceed from within, moved by its form: it must come, not in from without but out from within.

The human spirit must transcend number and break through multiplicity, and God will break through him; and just as He

If I had a friend and loved him because of the benefits which this brought me and because of getting my own way, then it would not be my friend that I loved but myself. I should love my friend on account of his own goodness and virtues and account of all that he is in himself. Only if I love my friend in this way do I love him properly.

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

God expects but one thing of you, and that is that you should come out of yourself in so far as you are a created being made and let God be God in you.

The beast that bears you fastest to perfection is suffering.
