Quotation from Confessions

A quotation from Augustine's Confessions (which I am in the process of reading again):

My soul is like a house, small for you to enter, but I pray you to enlarge it. It is in ruins, but I ask you to remake it. It contains much that you will not be pleased to see: this I know and do not hide. But who is to rid it of these things?

In other news: I am giving up on the idea that I will ever fall in love.
