God makes himself known only in the Holy Spirit, and he who because of his pride attempts to know the Creator with his mind alone is blind and deaf.

Dio si fa conoscere solo nello Spirito Santo, e colui il quale a causa della sua superbia tenta di conoscere il Creatore con la sua sola mente è cieco e sordo.
