I've been collecting quotes for ages. Whenever I find a good one, I jot it and its source on an index card, and file them alphabetically by author in a box. I think I'll start putting some of them up here every once in a while.
The quote of the moment happens to be the first one I grabbed from my alphabetical box, but rather applicable to my life anyway. It's from "The Confessions" by Augustine.
"Through your own merciful dealings with me, O Lord my God, tell me what you are to me. Say to my soul, I am your salvation. Say it so that I can hear it. My heart is listening, Lord; open the ears of my heart and say to my soul, I am your salvation. Let me run toward this voice and seize hold of you. Do not hide your face from me: let me die so that I may see it, for not to see it would be death to me indeed."
