In a false person, sacraments do not produce any effect.

I cannot go on.... All that I have written seems to me like so much straw compared to what I have seen and what has been revealed to me.

Clearly the person who accepts the Church as an infallible guide will believe whatever the Church teaches.

A scrap of knowledge about sublime things is worth more than any amount about trivialities.

The knowledge of God is the cause of things. For the knowledge of God is to all creatures what the knowledge of the artificer is to things made by his art.

Characteristics which define beauty are wholeness, harmony and radiance.

The test of the artist does not lie in the will with which he goes to work, but in the excellence of the work he produces.
