Not knowing how he lost himself, or how he recovered himself, he may never feel certain of not losing himself again.
Charles Dickens
Image
Yet, I had nothing else to tell unless, indeed, I were to confess (which might be of less moment still), that no one can ever believe this Narrative, in the reading, more than I believed it in the writing.
Charles Dickens
