If anyone went on for a thousand years asking of life: 'Why are you living?' life, if it could answer, would only say, 'I live so that I may live.' That is because life lives out of its own ground and springs from its own source, and so it lives without asking why it is itself living.
Meister Eckhart
Image
What a man takes in by contemplation, that he pours out in love.
Meister Eckhart
Image
God is at home. We are in the far country.
Meister Eckhart

Truth is something so noble that if God could turn aside from it, I could keep the truth and let God go.
Meister Eckhart
