Additional quotes by Teresa of Ávila

But always when I was without a book, my soul would at once become disturbed, and my thoughts wandered. As I read, I began to call them together again and, as it were, laid a bait for my soul

It is a most certain truth that the richer we see ourselves to be, confessing at the same time our poverty, the greater will be our progress, and the more real our humility.

The soul lets out some sighs — not great ones — because it can do no more; they are felt within.

It is foolish to think that we will enter heaven without entering into ourselves. - Teresa of Ávila
