Charles Dickens
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.
Charles Dickens
I'd lay down my life for her - Mas'r Davy - Oh! most content and cheerful! She's more to me - gent'lmen - than - she's all to me that ever I can want, and more than ever I - than ever I could say.

Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
While the flowers, pale and unreal in the moonlight, floated away upon the river and thus do greater things that once were in our breasts, and near our hearts, flow from us to the eternal sea.
Charles Dickens
In seasons of pestilence, some of us will have a secret attraction to the disease--a terrible passing inclination to die of it.
Charles Dickens
Mrs. Boffin and me, ma'am, are plain people, and we don't want to pretend to anything, nor yet to go round and round at anything because there's always a straight way to everything.
Charles Dickens
Time and tide will wait for no man, saith the adage. But all men have to wait for time and tide.
Charles Dickens
Consider nothing impossible, then treat possiblities as probabilities.
Charles Dickens
All of us have wonders hidden in our breasts, only needing circumstances to evoke them.
Charles Dickens
Then I'm sorry to say, I've eat your pie.
Charles Dickens
... I have read in your face, as plain as if it was a book, that but for some trouble and sorrow we should never know half the good there is about us.
Charles Dickens
Remember, to the last, that while there is life there is hope.
