Augustine was awesome. If I had had a pen handy at all times while reading Confessions, it would probably win 'most underlined Great Book' of all time.. it may yet, haha :) 

"The good things which you love are all from God, but they are good and sweet only as long as they are used to do His will. They will rightly turn bitter if God is spurned and the things that come from Him are wrongly loved."

"[Jesus] did not linger on His way but ran, calling us to return to him, calling us by His words and deeds, by His life and death, by His descent into hell and His ascension into heaven. He departed from our sight, so that we should turn to our hearts and find Him there."

"Man is a great mystery, Lord. You even keep count of the hairs on his head and not one of them escapes Your reckoning. Yet his hairs are more easily counted than his feelings and the emotions of his heart."

"Do my questions provoke You to smile at me and bid me simply to acknowledge You and praise You for what I do know?......For it is better to find You and leave the question unanswered than to find the answer without finding You."
