Augustine of Hippo

354–430

Bishop, and author of the Confessions

The Confessions are addressed to God and overheard by everyone else. He is interested in restlessness as a fact about the heart, not as a problem to be solved by a better schedule.

In the canon

  1. Thou hast made us for thyself, and our heart is restless until it rests in thee.Confessions
