If anyone went on for a thousand years asking of life: 'Why are you living?' life, if it could answer, would only say, 'I live so that I may live.' That is because life lives out of its own ground and springs from its own source, and so it lives without asking why it is itself living.

I have a capacity in my soul for taking in God entirely. I am as sure as I live that nothing is so near to me as God.

If God gave the soul his whole creation she would not be filled thereby but only with himself.

He who would be serene and pure needs but one thing, detachment.
