More quotes by Charles Dickens
Her heart-is given him, with all its love and truth. She would joyfully die with him, or, better than that, die for him. She knows he has failings, but she thinks they have grown up through his being like one cast away, for the want of something to trust in, and care for, and think well of.
Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
There are strings in the human heart that had better not be vibrated.
Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
If I could not walk far and fast, I think I should just explode and perish.
Charles Dickens
Joe gave me some more gravy.
Charles Dickens
I know enough of the world now to have almost lost the capacity of being much surprised by anything
Charles Dickens
My good fellow, retorted Mr. Boffin, you have my word and how you can have that, without my honour too, I don't know. I've sorted a lot of dust in my time, but I never knew the two things go into separate heaps.
Charles Dickens
Miss Mills replied, on general principles, that the Cottage of content was better than the Palace of cold splendour, and that where love was, all was.
Charles Dickens
Women can always put things in fewest words. Except when it's blowing up and then they lengthens it out.
Charles Dickens
Circumstances beyond my individual control.
Charles Dickens
The age of chivalry is past. Bores have succeeded to dragons.
