“The heart is restless until it rests in you.”

This quote has no known author and is recorded as an anonymous proverb.

About this quote

Augustine writes the line as a young man describing the restlessness that pushed him from one school of thought to another. Its modern use is usually secular, but the restlessness it names, the sense of not being finished with yourself, is exactly what an honest account of fear sounds like.
