Augustine of Hippo - The Catholic faith, ... I now...

The Catholic faith, ... I now realized could be maintained without presumption. This was especially true after I had heard one or two parts of the Old Testament explained allegorically-whereas before this, when I had interpreted them literally, they had "killed” me spiritually. (Augustine of Hippo)

When people talk of the Freedom of Writing, Speaking, or thinking, I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.

The Nautilus was piercing the water with its sharp spur, after having accomplished nearly ten thousand leagues in three months and a half, a distance greater than the great circle of the earth. Where were we going now, and what was reserved for the future?
