The ways that lead to knowledge of God
remain untrodden and impassable.
For the nearer we draw to God
the more we come to realize His incomprehensibility,
and this unknowing knowing
increases our reverence and piety.
--St. Gregory of Nyssa
God being most singularly one, and most simply indivisible, we cannot see Him without seeing Him all: but being infinite, without limit, without bounds or measure at all in His perfection, there neither is, nor can be, any capacity out of Himself which can ever totally comprehend or penetrate the infinity of His goodness, infinitely essential and essentially infinite.
--St. Francis de Sales,
Treatise on the Love of God,
Book III, Chapter xiii
