“Every deep thinker is more afraid of being understood than of being misunderstood.”
“God is incomprehensible, and incapable of being measured.”
On First Principles, Bk. 1, ch. 1; par. 5
On First Principles
Context: Having refuted, then, as well as we could, every notion which might suggest that we were to think of God as in any degree corporeal, we go on to say that, according to strict truth, God is incomprehensible, and incapable of being measured. For whatever be the knowledge which we are able to obtain of God, either by perception or reflection, we must of necessity believe that He is by many degrees far better than what we perceive Him to be.
