Though it may be called a nescience, and unknowing, yet there is in it more than all knowing and understanding without it; for this unknowing lures and attracts you from all understood things, and from yourself as well.

Once a man came to me - it was not too long ago - and said that he had given away much landed property and many goods for his own sake so that he might save his soul. Then I thought: 'How little and how insignificant is what you have let go of! It is blindness and foolishness for you to continue looking at all you've let go of. If, however, you've let go of yourself, then you've really let go.'

When I think of God's Kingdom, I am compelled to be silent because of its immensity, because God's Kingdom is none other than God himself with all His riches.

Nothing in all creation is so like God as stillness.

God is at home. We are in the far country.

[W]e must come into a transformed knowing, an unknowing which comes not from ignorance but from knowledge.

My Lord told me a joke. And seeing Him laugh has done more for me than any scripture I will ever read.
