About this Quote
This quote by Thomas Carlyle speaks to the idea of impermanence and the unchanging nature of the soul. It suggests that while the physical world is continuously altering, the innermost part of us stays the very same. This inner part is our true essence, our soul, which is everlasting and unvarying. It is unaffected by the death of time and the modifications that take place in the real world. This quote encourages us to look beyond the physical world and to focus on our innermost selves, which are the exact same yesterday, today, and forever. It reminds us that our true essence is not impacted by the death of time which it is our inner self that will remain with us throughout our lives. By focusing on our innermost selves, we can find peace and satisfaction in the middle of the ever-changing real world.
