Quote by Augustine
“Mi vanidosa suficiencia no aceptaba aquella simplicidad en la expresión; con el resultado de que mi agudeza no podía penetrar en sus interioridades. Era aquella una verdad que debía crecer con el crecer de los niños, pero yo me negaba resueltamente a ser niño. Hinchado de vanidad, me sentía muy grande.”

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.
