Thomas Carlyle Quotes
Learn to be good readers, which is perhaps a more difficult thing than you imagine.

But irony that is measured in centimeters is pathetic, and centimeter-sized pathos is ridiculous. No one can be carried away by it. To stir the reader, the artist must speak not of means but of ends, of the great goal toward which mankind is moving.
