This is summed up in the expression that God is "ontologically simple"- he has a simple sort of existence because he only has one characteristic: "being God". You can't consider one of God's attributes separately from the others or imagine what God would be like without one of them, the way you can imagine a blue tomato.
God is Omnipotence and Omniscience and Goodness. God doesn't just possess lovingness, God is Love. His essence (what he's really like) is identical with his characteristics. God isn't composed of different things or parts. Because the essence of tomatoes (what tomatoes have to be like) is separate from the characteristics of tomatoes, you can imagine a blue tomato or a square tomato.
Tomatoes are red and round and they're fruits but you don't put them in fruit salads. You can break creatures and objects down into the characteristics they possess, which is why they are complex. For example, I possess the characteristic of "being a human" and tomatoes possess the characteristic of "being red" and "being round". What Aquinas means is that most creatures and objects possess characteristics.
