The Logos whose excellence is incomparable, ineffable and inconceivable in himself is exalted beyond all creation and even beyond the idea of difference and distinction.”
― St. Maximus the Confessor, On the Cosmic Mystery of Jesus Christ

“To yield and give way to our passions is the lowest slavery, even as to rule over them is the only liberty.”
