He who has religion will speak poetry. But philosophy is the tool with which to seek and discover religion.

In life eternal, there is perfect joy and light, without pain or torture, and there is communion with God Himself and His angels.

In this world, with thy earthly life, thou art under heaven, stars, and elements, also under hell and devils; all ruleth in thee, and over thee.

Eternal life and the invisible world are only to be sought in God. Only within Him do all spirits dwell. He is an abyss of individuality, the only infinite plenitude.

There is an eternal landscape, a geography of the soul; we search for its outlines all our lives.

A theology should be like poetry, which takes us to the end of what words and thoughts can do.

Eternal life can mean utter reverence for life itself.

Poetry brings all possible experience to the same degree: a degree in the consciousness beyond which the consciousness itself cannot go.

I do not want to have the feeling of writing 'for eternity', so to speak.

This, and this alone, is Christianity, a universal holiness in every part of life, a heavenly wisdom in all our actions, not conforming to the spirit and temper of the world but turning all worldly enjoyments into means of piety and devotion to God.
