“Tanrı'ya, onu bana bağışlaması için dua edemiyorum; ama yine de o sanki bana aitmiş gibi geliyor. Tanrı'ya, onu bana vermesi için dua edemiyorum; çünkü o bir başkasına ait. Acılar içinde kuruntulara dalıyorum; düşündüklerimi kağıda dökmeye kalkışsam, bir karşıtlıklar ilahisi çıkar ortaya.”

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.
