Confessions of Saint Augustine book vii translated by Peter Constantine God is a sponge the origin of evil “I might die without having found the truth” “governs the universe down to the falling leaves of trees?” Astrology twins wavering wishy-washy mind “master of my body” “my festering pride” “through inner prods You goaded me so I would be impatient for You to become certain to my inner eye” ‘the more books one reads, the stupider one becomes’ Mao page 563 Modern Times Paul Johnson
