In this breaking-through, I receive that God and I are one. Then I am what I was, and then I neither diminish nor increase, for I am then an immovable cause that moves all things.

The outward work will never be puny if the inward work is great.

The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye, one seeing, one knowing, one love.

If we seek God for our own good and profit, we are not seeking God.

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.

Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.

No one is forgotten. It is a lie, any talk of God that does not comfort you.
