" "Before anything else the One must exist eternally; from his power derives everything that always is or will ever be. He is the Eternal and embraces all times. He knows profoundly all events and He himself is everything. He creates everything beyond any beginning of time and beyond any limit of place and space. He is not subject to any numerical law, or to any law of measure or order. He himself is law, number, measure, limit without limit, end without end, act without form.

"El amor no es ciego en sí y, si convierte en ciegos a algunos amantes, no es por sí mismo sino por la innoble disposición del sujeto, como ocurre cuando las aves nocturnas se ciegan en presencia del sol. En lo que a él se refiere, pues, el amor ilustra, esclarece, abre el intelecto, haciendo penetrar en él toda cosa y suscitando milagrosos efectos. El amor "muestra" por tanto "el paraíso" en el sentido de que abre la comprensión, el entendimiento y la vía de la acción a cosas altísimas; o, también, engrandeciendo -en apariencia al menos- las cosas amadas."
