"Unhappy the audacious soul which hoped that by abandoning you it would find some better thing! It tossed and turned upon back and side and belly — but the bed is hard, and you alone are rest. And here you are, to deliver us from our wretched wanderings and set us in your way, and you comfort us and say, 'Run, I will carry you and I will lead you home, and there I will carry you.' [Isaiah 46:4]"
- Confessions, St. Augustine, [6.16.26]
