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.

I will be silent and will hear what God will say in me...If God wishes to speak to me, let him enter. I will not go out.

Philosophers say the Soul is double-faced, her upper face gazes at God all the time and her lower face looks somewhat down, informing the senses; and the upper face, which is the summit of the soul, is in eternity and has nothing to do with time: it knows nothing of time or of body.

The second means of attraction which He used is Emptiness, as we see when we place one end of a hollow pipe in water, and draw up it by suction; the water runs up the stem to the mouth, because the emptiness of the pipe, from which the air has been drawn, draws the water to itself.

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

...Where and when God finds you ready, he must act and overflow into you, just as when the air is clear and pure, the sun must overflow into it and cannot refrain from doing that.

Our best chance of finding God is to look in the place where we left him.
