Notes from Wikiquote

The passions are uprooted and driven away by unceasing study of God | and this is the sword that slays them. | Just as the dolphin stirs and swims about when the visible sea is still and calm | so also, when the sea of the heart is tranquil and still from wrath and anger, mysteries and divine revelations are stirred in her at all times to delight her. | Homily 15, p. 204
