Marguerite Porete Quotes

• I am God, says Love, for Love is God and God is Love, and this Soul is God by the condition of Love. I am God by divine nature and this Soul is God by the condition of Love. Thus this precious beloved of mine is taught and guided by me, without herself, for she is transformed into me, and such a perfect one, says Love, takes my nourishment.

• Theologians and other clerks,
  You won't understand this book,
  -- However bright your wits --
  If you do not meet it humbly,
  And in this way, Love and Faith
  Make you surmount Reason, for
  They are the protectors of Reason's house.
