“With the drawing of this Love and the voice of this Calling

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, remembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;”

“Little Gidding”, Four Quartets by T.S. Eliot,

You are great, O Lord, and greatly to be praised; Your power is great, and Your wisdom is infinite. People want to praise You; humans, just a small part of Your creation; humans, who carry their mortality, the evidence of their sin, the proof that You oppose the proud: yet people want to praise You; they, just a small part of Your creation. You awaken us to enjoy praising You; for You made us for Yourself, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.

Confessions, by Augustine of Hippo
