“Inter faeces et urinam nascimur.”

— Aurelius Augustinus

We are born between feces and urine.
Attributed to a church father in Freud's Dora; Freud seems to have found it in an anatomy textbook by Josef Hyrtl (1867), where it was attributed to a church father; it may have been invented by Hyrtl. http://books.google.com/books?id=yw3tglAWxNAC&pg=RA1-PR72&lpg=RA1-PR72&dq=%22inter+urinas+et+faeces+nascimur%22+hyrtl&source=bl&ots=2sjrc-dGEs&sig=MDvt7D74M5JPozL1HKnN1FEmxbY&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vHJtUuneKJjb4APXq4CIAQ&ved=0CCkQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%22inter%20urinas%20et%20faeces%20nascimur%22%20hyrtl&f=false For Hyrtl's quotation see http://books.google.com/books?id=qrEaAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA820&dq=nascimur+inauthor:Hyrtl&hl=en&sa=X&ei=z3RtUru2LMzKkAfnm4DoAQ&ved=0CC8Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=nascimur%20inauthor%3AHyrtl&f=false.

“Ac generosae quidem animae triumphatorum coelum nunc obambulant, et angelorum choris intersunt: eorum vero corpora non singula cujusque condunt monumenta, sed urbes et vici haec inter se partiti, animarum illos servatores corporumque medicos appellant, veneranturque tamquam urbium praesides atque custodies, et horum apud Deum universorum interventu divina per eos munera consequuntur. Sectis corum corporibus, integra et indivisa gratia perseverat: et tenues illae ac tantillae reliquiae integro nullasque in partes dissecto martyri parem habent virtutem.”
