God cannot know himself without me.

Some people want to see God with their eyes as they see a cow, and to love Him as they love a cow - for the milk and cheese and profit it brings them. This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of outward wealth or inward comfort. They do not rightly love God, when they love Him for their own advantage.

Every creature is a word of God.

That's all an angel is....an idea of God.

The soul at its highest is found like God, but an angel gives a closer idea of Him. That is all an angel is: an idea of God.

The soul is created in a place between Time and Eternity: with its highest powers it touches Eternity, with its lower Time.

Time is what keeps the light from reaching us. There is no greater obstacle to God than time: and not only time but temporalities, not only temporal things but temporal affections, not only temporal affections but the very taint and smell of time.
