  1. A quotation from Carlyle

    Innumerable are the illusions and legerdemain-tricks of Custom: but of all these, perhaps the cleverest is her knack of persuading us that the Miraculous, by simple repetition, ceases to be Miraculous.

    Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
    Sartor Resartus, Book 3, ch. 8 (1834)
