God expects but one thing of you, and that is that you should come out of yourself in so far as you are a created being made and let God be God in you. – Meister Eckhart
If God gave the soul his whole creation she would not be filled thereby but only with himself. – Meister Eckhart
The soul at its highest is found like God, but an angel gives a closer idea of Him. That is all an angel is: an idea of God. – Meister Eckhart
A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we dont know ourselves! Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an oxs or bears, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there. – Meister Eckhart
