St Augustine & the heartbreak & desire of sin,
“Who am I? What kind of man am I? What evil have I not done? Or if there is evil that I have not done, what evil is there that I have not spoken? If there is any that I have not spoken, what evil is there that I have not willed to do?” (Bk. IX, 1, p. 181)
“But my sin was this, that I looked for pleasure, beauty, and truth not in Him but in myself and his other creatures, and this search led me instead to pain, confusion, and error.” (Bk. I, 20, p. 40–41)
