Staretz Silouan of Mt. Athos | ...pride it does not give place for the grace of the Holy Spirit...

"The Lord does not show Himself to a proud soul. The proud soul, no matter how many books it reads, will never know God, since by its pride it does not give place for the grace of the Holy Spirit, while God is known only by the humble soul."
