All we know of the truth is that the absolute truth, such as it is, is beyond our reach.
Nicholas of CusaThrough itself the soul arrives at all harmony that is perceptible in otherness-just as through what is internal the soul arrives at what is external.
Nicholas of CusaEvery angle acknowledges that it is a likeness of true angularity, for [each angle] is angle not insofar as angle exists in itself but insofar as angle exists in something else, viz., in a surface. And so, true angularity is present in creatable and depictable angles as in a likeness of itself.
Nicholas of CusaIf that one is already a great artist, who knows how to educe from a small piece of wood the face of a king or of a queen, an ant or a camel, how great then is the mastery which can form as actuality everything which is in all potentiality? Therefore, God, who is able to produce from the most minute piece of matter the similitude of all forms which can be in this world and in infinitely many worlds, is of admirable subtlety.
