“When a man's intellect is constantly with God, his desire grows beyond all measure into an intense longing for God and his incensiveness is completely transformed into divine love. For by continual participation in the divine radiance his intellect becomes totally filled with light; and when it has reintegrated its passible aspect, it redirects this aspect towards God, filling it with an incomprehensible and intense longing for Him and with unceasing love, thus drawing it entirely away from worldly things to the divine.” MenLightChristianDesireGrowsDivineAspectFilledLongingIntellectDrawingIntenseOrthodoxTransformedParticipationWorldlyFillingDivine LoveRadianceWorldly ThingsLonging For God Author:Maximus the Confessor

“Commemoration of Gilbert of Sempringham, Founder of the Gilbertine Order, 1189 Some there are who presume so far on their wits that they think themselves capable of measuring the whole nature of things by their intellect, in that they esteem all things true which they see, and false which they see not. Accordingly, in order that man's mind might be freed from this presumption, and seek the truth humbly, it was necessary that certain things far surpassing his intellect should be proposed to man by God.” ThinkingMenShouldMindWholeMightCertainOrderCapableAll ThingsIntellectWitEsteemFoundersMeasuringPresumptionSurpassingCommemoration Author:Thomas Aquinas

“Man is an intellectual animal, and therefore an everlasting contradiction to himself. His senses centre in himself, his ideas reach to the ends of the universe; so that he is torn in pieces between the two, without a possibility of its ever being otherwise.” MenTwoIdeasEndsUniverseAnimalPiecesPossibilityIntellectualIntellectSensesContradictionCentreTornEverlasting Book:Delphi Collected Works of William Hazlitt (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Collected Works of William Hazlitt (Illustrated)
