It is no small misfortune and disgrace that, through our own fault, we neither understand our nature nor our origin.
Teresa of AvilaIf I should say anything that is not in conformity with what is held by the Holy Roman Catholic Church, it will be through ignorance and not through malice. This may be taken as certain, and also that, through God's goodness, I am, and shall always be, as I always have been, subject to her.
Teresa of Avila
