“I must rejoice beyond the bounds of time … though the world may shudder at my joy, and in its coarsness know not what I mean.

Jan Van Ruysbroeck
“When love has carried us above all things ... we receive in peace the Incomprehensible Light, enfolding us and penetrating us. What is this Light, if it be not a contemplation of the Infinite, and an intuition of Eternity? We behold that which we are, and we are that which we behold; because our being, without losing anything of its own personality, is united with the Divine Truth.”
John of Ruysbroeck
“The depths themselves remain uncomprehended. This is the dark silence in which all lovers are lost.”
Jan van Ruysbroeck
