"But now you will ask me,... How am I to think of God himself, and what is he? and I cannot answer you accept to say I do not know! For this question you have brought me into he cloud of unknowing. Of God himself can no man speak."
The Cloud of Unknowing
"Whoever perceives something in God and attaches thereby some name to him, that is not God. God is ineffable"
Meister Eckhart
"God is a sphere whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere"
Hermes Trismegistus
" ...God is unknowable. God is also undefinable, because attaching any characteristic to the Infinite excludes its opposite, immediately violating the wholeness and completeness of the Absolute, outside of which nothing can exist"
