Love can be angry... with a kind of anger in which there is no gall, like the dove's and not the ravens.
Saint AugustineAnd I entered and beheld with the eye of my soul... the Light Unchangeable... He that knows the Truth, knows what that Light is; and he that knows It, knows Eternity.
Saint AugustineWho would not shudder if he were given the choice of eternal death or life again as a child ? Who would not choose to die ?
Saint AugustineI became evil for no reason. I had no motive for my wickedness except wickedness itself. It was foul, and I loved it. I loved the self-destruction, I loved my fall, not the object for which I had fallen but my fall itself. My depraved soul leaped down from your firmament to ruin. I was seeking not to gain anything by shameful means, but shame for its own sake.
Saint Augustine
