"God is said not to be in the same genus as other . . . things, not because he is in another genus, but because he is outside any genus".

"God is said not to be in the same genus as other . . . things, not because he is in another genus, but because he is outside any genus but the principle of every genus.  Thus he is compared to others by way of excess. . . ."

     Thomas Aquinas, ST I.6.2.ad 3, trans. Ralph McInerny.
