pjthompsonRandom quote of the day:
"There is also present in the soul, by means of these same bodily senses, a kind of empty longing and curiosity which aims not at taking pleasure in the flesh but at acquiring experience through the flesh, and this empty curiosity is dignified by the names of learning and science."
—St. Augustine, The Confessions, Book X, Chapter 35 (tr. Rex Warner)
