“And, as in the case of sensible images, if the artist look without distraction upon the archetypal form, not distracted by sight of anything else, or in any way divided in attention, he will duplicate, if I may so speak, the very person that is being sketched, whoever he may be, and will shew the reality in the likeness, and the archetype in the image, and each in each, save the difference of substance;”
― Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, The Works of Dionysius the Areopagite

“My goal is GOD HIMSELF. Not joy, not peace, not even blessing but HIMSELF...my GOD.”
― Leonard Ravenhill

― John Bradshaw, Healing the Shame that Binds You
