“For such is the depth of the Christian Scriptures that, even if I were attempting
to study them and nothing else, from boyhood to decrepit old age, with the utmost
leisure, the most unwearied zeal, and with talents greater than I possess, I would
still be making progress in discovering their treasures.”

–Aurelius Augustine, as quoted in Peter Brown, _[Augustine of Hippo: A Biography](https://www.amazon.com/dp/0520227573?tag=toletaupanre-20)_(
Berkeley, CA: University of California Press, 1967/2000), 160.
