Being is desirable because it is identical with Beauty, and Beauty is loved because it is Being. We ourselves possess Beauty when we are true to our own being; ugliness is in going over to another order; knowing ourselves, we are beautiful; in self-ignorance, we are ugly.
The soul that beholds beauty becomes beautiful.
It is precisely because there is nothing within the One that all things are from it.
We are not separated from spirit, we are in it.
It is in virtue of unity that beings are beings.
You can only apprehend the Infinite by a faculty that is superior to reason.
