“Not-other is not other; nor is it other than other; nor is it other in an other. [These points are true] for no other reason than that [Not-other is] Not-other, which cannot in any way be an other— as if something were lacking to it, as to an other. Because other is other than something, it lacks that than which it is other. But because Not-other is not other than anything, it does not lack anything, nor can anything exist outside of it. Hence, without Not-other no thing can be spoken of or thought of, because it would not be spoken of or thought of through that without which, since it precedes all things, no thing can exist or be known. Accordingly, in itself Not-other is seen antecedently and as absolutely no other than itself; and in an other it is seen as not other than this other.”
― Nicholas of Cusa, Nicholas of Cusa on God as not-other: A translation and an appraisal of De li non aliud
