The act of philosophizing involves the character of the philosopher. - Jacques Maritain

The philosopher says that God's knowledge is the measure of things, and that things are the measure of man's knowledge.

It is enough that things exist for God to be unavoidable. Let us but grant to a bit of moss or the smallest ant its due nature as an ontological reality, and we can no longer escape the terrifying hand that made us.

For to love is to give what one is, his very being, in the most absolute, the most brazenly metaphysical, the least phenomenalizable sense of this word.
