John of the Cross
In the dark night of the soul, bright flows the river of God.
John of the Cross

John of the Cross
To reach satisfaction in all desire its possession in nothing, To come to the knowledge of all desire the knowledge of nothing. To come to possess all desire the possession of nothing. To arrive at being all desire to be nothing.
John of the Cross
