"God is not related to creatures as though belonging to a different "genus," but as transcending every "genus," and as the principle of all "genera."

All too willingly man sees himself as the centre of the universe, as something not belonging to the rest of nature but standing apart as a different and higher being. Many people cling to this error and remain deaf to the wisest command ever given by a sage, the famous "Know thyself" inscribed in the temple of Delphi.
