Famous quotes containing the words augustine and/or light:
“To touch God a little with our mind is a great blessing, to grasp him is impossible.”
—St. Augustine (354–430)
“The light of memory, or rather the light that memory lends to things, is the palest light of all.... I am not quite sure whether I am dreaming or remembering, whether I have lived my life or dreamed it. Just as dreams do, memory makes me profoundly aware of the unreality, the evanescence of the world, a fleeting image in the moving water.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
