O eternal truth and true love and beloved eternity! You are my God; to you I sigh by day and by night. And when I first knew you, you raised me up so that I could see that there was something to see and that I still lacked the ability to see it. And you beat back the weakness of my sight, blazing upon me with your rays, and I trembled in love and in dread.

Hell was made for the inquisitive.

The entire most beautiful order of things that are very good, when their measures have been accomplished, is to pass away.

I will plant my feet on that step where my parents put me as a child, until self-evident truth comes to light.

Truth is not private property.

True happiness is to rejoice in the truth, for to rejoice in the truth is to rejoice in You, O God, who are the truth... Those who think that there is another kind of happiness look for joy elsewhere, but theirs is not true joy.

Lord, who art always the same, give that I know myself, give that I know Thee.
