“Wonder-the Enthusiastic Ardor For The Sublimity Of Being, For Its Worthiness To Be An Object Of Knowledge-promises To Become The Point Of Departure For Genuine Insight Only Where It Has Reached The Stage In Which The Subject, Overwhelmed By The Object, Has, As It Were, Fused Into A Single Point Or Into Nothing ... Like The Movement Of Hope And Love Toward God, Which Is Genuine And Selfless Only Where It Has Assumed The Attitude Of Pure Worship Of God For His Own Sake.”
