Sayings of the Fathers

I think I read somewhere that the venerable Seraphim Rose said we should keep a notebook to record sayings of the Fathers of the Church and other saints. I think that a hundred years from now when someone looks at my notebook and sees this they will wonder if I was a crackhead:

"such command of their bowels, that they can break wind continuously at will, so as to produce the effect of singing." - St. Augustine in De Civitate Dei (14.24)

I'm NOT making this up.
