"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." —Scottish historian, essayist
and philosopher Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881), Lectures on Heroes, Hero-Worship and the Heroic in History (1841)
