More quotes by Charles Dickens
Well, said my aunt, this is his boy - his son. He would be as like his father as it's possible to be, if he was not so like his mother, too.
Charles Dickens
I must do something or I shall wear my heart away.
Charles Dickens
The civility which money will purchase, is rarely extended to those who have none.
Charles Dickens
Troubles are exceedingly gregarious in their nature, and flying in flocks are apt to perch capriciously.
Charles Dickens
Try not to associate bodily defect with mental, my good friend, except for a solid reason
Charles Dickens
Consider nothing impossible, then treat possiblities as probabilities.
Charles Dickens
Keep up appearances whatever you do.
Charles Dickens
Good never come of such evil, a happier end was not in nature to so unhappy a beginning.
Charles Dickens
The jovial party broke up next morning. Breakings-up are capital things in our school-days, but in after life they are painful enough. Death, self-interest, and fortune's changes, are every day breaking up many a happy group, and scattering them far and wide and the boys and girls never come back again.
Charles Dickens
We lawyers are always curious, always inquisitive, always picking up odds and ends for our patchwork minds, since there is no knowing when and where they may fit into some corner.
Charles Dickens
Old Time, that greatest and longest established spinner of all!... his factory is a secret place, his work is noiseless, and his Hands are mutes.
Charles Dickens
Opening her eyes again, and seeing her husband's face across the table, she leaned forward to give it a pat on the cheek, and sat down to supper, declaring it to be the best face in the world.
Charles Dickens
It was a foggy day in London, and the fog was heavy and dark. Animate London, with smarting eyes and irritated lungs, was blinking, wheezing, and choking inanimate London was a sooty spectre, divided in purpose between being visible and invisible, and so being wholly neither.
Charles Dickens
It was one of those hot, silent nights, when people sit at windows listening for the thunder which they know will shortly break when they recall dismal tales of hurricanes and earthquakes and of lonely travellers on open plains, and lonely ships at sea, struck by lightning.
Charles Dickens
I do not know the American gentleman, God forgive me for putting two such words together.
Charles Dickens
If a dread of not being understood be hidden in the breasts of other young people to anything like the extent to which it used to be hidden in mine - which I consider probable, as I have no particular reason to suspect myself of having been a monstrosity - it is the key to many reservations.
Charles Dickens
Life is made of ever so many partings welded together.
Charles Dickens
I stole her heart away and put ice in its place.
Charles Dickens
I love your daughter fondly, dearly, disinterestedly, devotedly. If ever there were love in the world, I love her.
Charles Dickens
[She wasn't] a logically reasoning woman, but God is good, and hearts may count in heaven as high as heads.
Charles Dickens
