Two cities have been formed by two loves: the earthly by the love of self; the heavenly by the love of God.
- St. Augustine
The LORD God formed the man out of the dust from the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils. Genesis 2:7
- Beth Moore
Though in many of its aspects this visible world seems formed in love, the invisible spheres were formed in fright.
- Herman Melville
Two cities have been formed by two loves: the earthly by the love of self, even to the contempt of God; the heavenly by the love of God, even to the contempt of self.
- St. Augustine
It is a solemn thing to find oneself drawn out in prayer which knows no relief till the soul it is burdened with is born. It is no less solemn afterwards, until Christ is formed in them.
