===== Quotes =====
His definition of wisdom, recovering knowledge that was already felt when we were young.
<blockquote>
Wisdom is the recovery of innocence at the far end of experience; it is the ability to see again what most of us have forgotten how to see, but now fortified by the ability to translate some of that vision into words, however inadequate.
<cite>Page 10</cite>
</blockquote>

What is god and how do we encounter him.
<blockquote>
Gotd is not only the ultimate reality that the intellect and the will seek but is also the primordial reality with which all of us are always engaged in every moment of existence and consciousness, apart from which we have no experience of anything whatsoever. Or, to borrow the language of Augustine, God is not only //superior summo meo// - beyond my utmost heights - but also //interior intimo meo// - more inward to me than my inmost depths.
<cite>Page 10</cite>
</blockquote>
