Inspired by the following lines from The Confessions of St. Augustine:
In the ordinary course of study I came upon a book by a certain Cicero…. This work contains an exhortation to philosophy and is called Hortensius.
This book changed my affections. It turned my prayers to you, Lord, and caused me to have different purposes and desires.
Confessions (3.4.7)
