Saint Sophrony about Saint Silouan 

"If you enter a room filled with a good fragrance, your chest, involuntarily, opens to receive it into its depths. The same movement of the soul was felt in the meetings with Elder Silouan. A quiet, peaceful, but also very strong, deep desire to receive the fragrance of the spirit of Christ, in which the Elder had been given to live, took possession of the soul. What a rare sweetness, unparalleled and completely special, the meeting with such a man gives you!"
