I'm glad a few of you read this book, or at least part of it.
The book is so foreign to most people, not taught in schools, but if you dig just a bit deeper, you will see that Carlyle was truly one of the great authors in our language's history.

There is no other reform conceivable. Thou and
I, my friend, can, in the most flunky world, make, each of us, _one_
non-flunky, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin
with:--Courage! even that is a whole world of heroes to end with, or
what we poor Two can do in furtherance thereof!
