Quote by Thomas Carlyle
“Puterile mele active sunt dezacordate şi cufundate într-o trândăvie plină de nelinişte; nu pot să stau fără să fac nimic, şi totuşi nici nu sunt în stare să fac ceva. Nu mai am pic de imaginaţie, nu mai simt nimic în faţa naturii, iar cărţile mă dezgustă. Când ne lipsim nouă înşine, totul ne lipseşte. Îţi jur că, de multe ori, aş vrea să fiu muncitor cu ziua numai ca să pot avea dimineaţa, când mă scol, o nădejde în ziua care începe, un imbold, o speranţă.”

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.
