There is no repose for the mind except in the absolute; for feeling in the infinite; for the soul except in the divine; nothing finite is true, is interesting, is worthy to fix my attention. All that is particular is exclusive and all that is exclusive repels me. There is nothing non-exclusive but the All; my end is communion with Being through the whole of Being
