Thomas Carlyle
Let me have my own way in exactly everything and a sunnier and pleasanter creature does not exist.
Thomas Carlyle
In the true Literary Man there is thus ever, acknowledged or not by the world, a sacredness: he is the light of the world the world's Priest -- guiding it, like a sacred Pillar of Fire, in its dark pilgrimage through the waste of Time.
Thomas Carlyle

Thomas Carlyle
