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.

This then is salvation - when we marvel at the beauty of created things and praise their beautiful Creator.

Everything is full and pure at its source and precisely there, not outside.

God is like a person who clears his throat while hiding and so gives himself away. God lies in wait for us with nothing so much as love.

As long as I am this or that, or have this or that, I am not all things and I have not all things. Become pure till you neither are nor have either this or that; then you are omnipresent and, being neither this nor that, are all things.

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.

Love is as strong as death, as hard as Hell. Death separates the soul from the body, but love separates all things from the soul.
