Lord, you are then not only that than which nothing greater can be thought; you are something greater than it is possible to think about. For since it is possible to think that this could exist, if you are not that thing, then a greater than you can be thought; and that will not do. - St. Anselm, Chapter 15 of Proslogion [Philosophical note: this is the famous "ontological proof of God" - important to note that it is no such thing. It is a prayer.]
