“Hildegard's pragmatism, whether stepped in science and biology or not, can never be divorced entirely from her theology. In her mind, they sprang from the same visionary and prophetic source.”

“I do not see with external eyes, and I do no hear it with my external ears; I do not perceive with thoughts of my heart nor by any medium of my five senses, but rather only in my soul, with open eyes, so that I never experience the unconsciousness of ecstasy, but, awake, I see this day and night.”

“A man should never put on feminine dress or a woman use male attire so that their roles may remain distinct, the man displaying manly strength and the woman womanly weakness … But as a woman should not wear a man’s clothes, she should also not approach the office of My altar, for she should not take on a masculine role in her hair or in her attire. (SCIVIAS, II, VI)”
