Quote by Augustine
“Dirijo-me para as planícies e os vastos palácios da memória, onde estão tesouros de inumeráveis imagens veiculadas por toda a espécie de coisas que se sentiram. Aí está escondido também tudo aquilo que pensamos, quer aumentando, quer diminuindo, quer variando de qualquer modo que seja as coisas que os sentidos atingiram, e ainda tudo aquilo que lhe tenha sido confiado, e nela depositado, e que o esquecimento ainda não absorveu nem sepultou. Quando aí estou, peço que me seja apresentado aquilo que quero.”
― Augustine ,
from Confissões

Aurelius Augustinus - more commonly "St. Augustine of Hippo," or simply "Augustine" - was a philosopher and theologian, and one of the most important figures in the development of Western Christianity. He framed the concepts of original sin and just war. Augustine was one of the most prolific Latin authors in terms of surviving works, and the list of his works consists of more than a hundred separate titles.
Augustine took the view that the Biblical text should not be interpreted literally if it contradicts what we know from science and our God-given reason. Many Protestants, especially Calvinists, consider him to be one of the theological fathers of Reformation teaching on salvation and divine grace.
