A Minority of One

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881), On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and The Heroic in History, Lecture II:
Every new opinion, at its starting, is precisely in a minority of one. In one man's head alone, there it dwells as yet. One man alone of the whole world believes it; there is one man against all men.
