Thomas Carlyle Quotes:
Ocupation: Philosopher
Life: December 4, 1795 - February 5, 1881
Birthday: December 4
Death: February 5
Superstition! that horrid incubus which dwelt in darkness, shunning the light, with all its racks, and poison chalices, and foul sleeping draughts, is passing away without return. Religion cannot pass away. The burning of a little straw may hide the stars of the sky; but the stars are there and will reappear.
