“No one who is not utterly blind can fail to see that God gathered all the beauty of which the whole world is capable of in woman.”
Henry Cornelius Agrippa

“Only for you, children of doctrine & learning, have we written this work. Examine this book, ponder the meaning we have dispersed in various places & gathered again; what we have concealed in one place we have disclosed in another, that it may be understood by your wisdom.”
Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim, De Occulta Philosophia

“I while yet a youth wrote in a quite large volume three books of magical things, which I called De occulta philosophia, in which whatever was then erroneous because of my curious youth, now, more cautious, I wish to retract by this recantation, for formerly I spent much time and goods on these vanities.”
Cornelius Agrippa, The Devil's Doctor: Paracelsus and the World of Renaissance Magic and Science
