He who is in the light sees no darkness, so he who has his eye fixed in Christ can contemplate but splendor.

— Gregory of Nyssa

Colui che si trova nella luce non vede tenebre, così colui che ha il suo occhio fisso in Cristo, non può contemplare che splendore.

More quotes by Gregory of Nyssa

As virtue is a thing that has no master, that is, is free, everything that is free will be united with virtue.

Who gives you the day will give you also the things necessary for the day.

God's name is not known; it is wondered at.
