Quote by Thomas Carlyle
“Îmi preţuieşte inteligenţa şi talentele mai mult decât inima, care e totuşi singura mea mândrie, care e singurul izvor al oricărei forţe, al oricărei fericiri, al oricărui necaz. Ah, ceea ce ştiu poate şti oricine, dar inima mea e numai a mea!”

Thomas Carlyle was a Scottish satirical writer, essayist, historian and teacher during the Victorian era. He called economics "the dismal science", wrote articles for the Edinburgh Encyclopedia, and became a controversial social commentator.
Coming from a strict Calvinist family, Carlyle was expected by his parents to become a preacher, but while at the University of Edinburgh, he lost his Christian faith. Calvinist values, however, remained with him throughout his life. This combination of a religious temperament with loss of faith in traditional Christianity made Carlyle's work appealing to many Victorians who were grappling with scientific and political changes that threatened the traditional social order.
