For then I knew my soul - every soul - has always held Him.

Remember this: all suffering comes to an end. And whatever you suffer authentically, God has suffered from it first.

He who can make distinction in God without number or quantity, knows that the three persons of the Trinity are one God.

There is something in the soul that is so akin to God that it is one with Him... It has nothing in common with anything created.

The seed of God is in us. If the seed had a good, wise and industrious cultivator, it would thrive all the more and grow up to God whose seed it is, and the fruit would be equal to the nature of God. Now the seed of a pear tree grows into a pear tree, a hazel seed into a hazel tree, and the seed of God into God.

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

God is not found in the soul by adding anything but by a process of subtraction.
