“I fear my own self-deception, for my corrupt heart lies even to itself. I offer no defense against Your judgment, for if You, Lord, kept a record of sins, who could stand?”
― Augustine of Hippo, The Confessions of St. Augustine: Modern English Version

“Do you think I am trying to weave a spell? Perhaps I am; but remember your fairy tales. Spells are used for breaking enchantments as well as for inducing them. And you and I have need of the strongest spell that can be found to wake us from the evil enchantment of worldliness which has been laid upon us for nearly a hundred years. Almost our whole education has been directed to silencing this shy, persistent, inner voice; almost all our modem philosophies have been devised to convince us that the good of man is to be found on this earth.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory

“Here is my fountain, and here is my cup: find fault if you please; but do drink of the water of life. I only care for this. I had rather bless the soul of the poorest crossing-sweeper, or rag-gatherer, than please a prince of the blood, and fail to convert him to God.”
― Charles Haddon Spurgeon, All of Grace

“The promise of satisfaction in worldly loves is an enduring lie that moves the soul to unfaithfulness from its proper lover.”
― Augustine of Hippo, The Confessions of St. Augustine: Modern English Version
