Franz Brentano
The Ideal of Ideals consists in the unity of all Truth, Goodness and Beauty, i.e.,
in a being whose presence is a manifestation of infinite beauty, revealing in it
and in its infinite and surpassing archetypes every conceivable finite beauty;
a being whose knowledge is a disclosure of infinite truth;
and a being whose love loves the infinite all-encompassing good and, in it,
all else which shares in a finite way in its perfection.
...And the greatest bliss of all would be the threefold enjoyment of this threefold unity,
in which the infinite beauty is beheld and in the beholding is recognized through itself
as necessary and infinite truth, and as infinite loving kindness becomes manifest,
is loved with total and necessary devotion as the infinite good.
