Show me the person you honor, for I know better by that the kind of person you are. For you show me what your idea of humanity is.
Thomas CarlyleA force as of madness in the hands of reason has done all that was ever done in the world.
Thomas CarlyleTo me the Universe was all void of Life, of Purpose, of Volition, even of Hostility; it was one huge, dead, immeasurable Steam-engine, rolling on, in its dead indifference, to grind me limb from limb. Oh vast gloomy, solitary Golgotha, and Mill of Death! Why was the living banished thither companionless, conscious? Why, if there is no Devil; nay, unless the Devil is your God?
Thomas Carlyle
