जो उन्होंने वास्तव में कहा
Teresa of Ávila के प्रमाणित वचन
«Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you; all things pass away, God does not change; patience obtains everything; whoever has God lacks nothing: God alone suffices.»
Poesías, letrilla hallada en su breviario («Nada te turbe»)
«I live without living in myself, and so high a life I await, that I die because I do not die.»
Poesías, «Vivo sin vivir en mí» (glosa)
«Mental prayer, in my opinion, is nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be alone with him who we know loves us.»
Libro de la vida, cap. 8, 5
