i like it

"The eye cannot see Him, though He is visible. He is incomprehensible, though in grace He is manifested. He is beyond our utmost thought, though our human faculties conceive of Him. He is therefore equally real and great... our very capacity of fully grasping Him affords us the idea of what He really is... Would you have the proof from the works of His hands, so numerous and so great, which both contain you and sustain you, which minister at once to your enjoyment, and strike you with awe..." -Tertullian "The Apology," Ch. XVII
