Since beings desire to exist, because to exist is a good thing: they desire the One without which they cannot exist.
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 CusaThe intellect alone has an eye for viewing an essence, which it cannot see except in the true Cause, which is the Fount of all desire. Moreover, since all things seek to exist, then in all things there is desire from the Fount-of-desire, wherein being and desire coincide in the Same.
Nicholas of CusaJust as all motion is from an unmovable cause, so everything divisible is from an indivisible cause. However, this visible, corporeal world is, assuredly, of a divisible nature, since what is corporeal is divisible. Therefore, this world is from an earlier, indivisible Cause.
