"Where one sees nothing else, hears nothing else, understands nothing else — that is the infinite. But where one sees another, hears another, understands another — that is the small. That which is infinite is immortal, and that which is small is mortal." "Venerable sir, on what is the infinite established?" "On its own greatness — or not even on greatness."

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them.
