Famous Quotes about purpose

Teresa of Ávila quote #71 from The Life of Saint Teresa of Ávila by Herself

I used unexpectedly to experience a consciousness of the presence of God or such a kind that I could not possibly doubt that He was within me or that I was wholly engulfed in Him. This was in no sense a vision I believe it is called mystical theology. The soul is suspended in such a way that it seems to be completely outside itself. The will loves the memory I think is almost lost while the understanding I believe thought it is not lost does not reasonI mean that it does not work but is amazed at the extent of all it can understand for God wills it to realize that it understands nothing of what His Majesty represents to it.

Aleksandra Ninkovic famous quote #14

Let it all go to wasteFor what I long for Im bound to resignBittersweet is like the taste of wineThis Loves captivating taste.Let my heart be tormented by wonderIt will never manage to attain.On my window symphony of rainOpen seas resound in strikes of thunder.Let my soul be lost til Sun is setAnd be found reborn within its deathI surrender the very last breathConfessing my sins with no regret.Let it all go to waste indeed.For with or without it the sentence is pain.Therefore in my stillness silenced will remainEverlasting dream and consuming need.
