Eternity is life that is beyond time but includes within itself all time but without a before or after. And whoever is taken into the Eternal Nothing possesses all in all and has no 'before or after'. Indeed a person taken within today would not have been there for a shorter period from the point of view of eternity than someone who had been taken within a thousand years ago.

More quotes by Henry Suso

An unloving heart can no more understand a love-filled speaker than a German an Italian.

Suffering is the ancient law of love; there is no quest without pain; there is no lover who is not also a martyr.

In this wild mountain region of the 'where' beyond God there is an abyss full of play and feeling for all pure spirits.

Now these people who are taken within, because of their boundless immanent oneness with God, see themselves as always and eternally existing

Here in this region beyond thought the human spirit actively soars.
