Divine Quotes

To become who we are as creatures made in the image and likeness of God, we have to be nothing and everything at once, since this is what God is. ...

The fact is, that of all God's gifts to the sight of man, color, is the holiest, the most divine, the most solemn.

And it simply is not there.
