"It is for others to serve God; it is for you to cling to him. It is for others to believe in God, to know that he exists, to love him and revere him; it is for you to taste him, to understand him, to know him, to enjoy him."
William of St. Thierry
"To the Brethren at Mont Dieu" (addressed to Cistertians)
qtd in Theology in History by Henri de Lubac, 181.
