... and here are some of his quotes:
In books lies the soul of the whole Past Time; the articulate audible voice of the Past, when the body and material substance of it has altogether vanished like a dream.
A man lives by believing something; not by debating and arguing about many things.
All that mankind has done, thought, gained or been: it is lying as in magic preservation in the pages of books.
What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books.
The suffering man ought really to consume his own smoke; there is no good in emitting smoke till you have made it into fire.
(qtd. from "Thomas Carlyle" on Wikipedia).
