t is also necessary--may God grant it!--that in providing others with books to read I myself should make progress, and that in trying to answer their questions I myself should find what I am seeking.

-- The Trinity 1, 8

Prayer. Lord, let me offer you the sacrifice of every thought and word--only first give me what I may offer you.

-- Confessions 11, 2
