The eye of the intellect "sees in all objects what it brought with it the means of seeing."
Thomas Carlyle"Love is not altogether a Delirium," says he elsewhere; "yet has it many points in common therewith."
Thomas CarlyleHeroes have gone out; quacks have come in; the reign of quacks has not ended with the nineteenth century. The sceptre is held with a firmer grasp; the empire has a wider boundary. We are all the slaves of quackery in one shape or another. Indeed, one portion of our being is always playing the successful quack to the other.
Thomas Carlyle
