"Solo un uomo semplice, che si è abbandonato a Dio ed è umile, sperimenta e sente questa unione con Dio nel suo fondo interiore". Molto apprezzato da Lutero, fu, forse per questo, messo all'indice nel 1578, ma fu poi riabilitato da Santa Teresa d'Avila e da San Giovanni della Croce.

Giacché nel ricordo non vi sono lontananze; e nell'oblio vi è un abisso che né la voce né l'occhio potranno mai accorciare."
