I love good and pleasure, I hate evil and pain, I want to be happy and I am not mistaken in believing, that people, angels and even demons have those same inclinations.
Nicolas MalebrancheYou cannot of yourself move your arm or alter your position, situation, posture, do to other men good or evil, or effect the least change in the world.
Nicolas MalebrancheAll creatures are united to God alone in an immediate union. They depend essentially and directly upon Him. Being all alike equally impotent, they cannot be in reciprocal dependence upon one another.
Nicolas Malebranche
