William of Saint Thierry (1075-1148).

 

It is for others to serve God, it is for you to cling to him; it is for others to believe in God, know him, love him, and revere him; it is for you to taste him, understand him, be intimate with him, enjoy him. William of Saint Thierry, Golden Epistle 16, quoted in: Pennington, Basil. (1978). O Holy Mountain! Journal of a Retreat on Mount Athos. P.86.
