Thomas Carlyle
Why did not somebody teach me the constellations, and make me at home in the starry heavens, which are always overhead, and which I don't half know to this day?
Thomas Carlyle
The great silent man! Looking round on the noisy inanity of the world,--words with little meaning, actions with little worth,--one loves to reflect on the great Empire of Silence.
Thomas Carlyle
A noble book! all men's book!
Thomas Carlyle
If a book comes from the heart, it will contrive to reach other hearts all art and author-craft are of small amount to that.
Thomas Carlyle
In every object there is inexhaustible meaning the eye sees in it what the eye brings means of seeing.
