"God thought and things came to be, in-formed:……" — Gregory of Nazianzus
"God thought and things came to be, in-formed: the divine thought is the complicated womb of all that is. For it's not likely that, like some painter, He conjured up an image from a similar image, having seen beforehand things which His own one mind did not write."
