More quotes by Charles Dickens
He was the meekest of his sex, the mildest of little men. He sidled in and out of a room, to take up the less space. He walked as softly as the Ghost in Hamlet, and more slowly.

Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
...and to-morrow looked in my face more steadily than I could look at it
Charles Dickens
Let us be moral. Let us contemplate existence.
Charles Dickens
She had gained a reputation for beauty, and (which is often another thing) was beautiful.
Charles Dickens
But, tears were not the things to find their way to Mr. Bumble's soul his heart was waterproof.
Charles Dickens
Did it ever strike you on such a morning as this that drowning would be happiness and peace?
Charles Dickens
A modest ring at the bell at length allayed her fears, and Miss Benton, hurrying into her own room and shutting herself up, in order that she might preserve that appearance of being taken by surprise which is so essential to the polite reception of visitors, awaited their coming with a smiling countenance.
Charles Dickens
It is required of every man, the ghost returned, that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow-men, and travel far and wide and, if that spirit goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death.
Charles Dickens
All partings foreshadow the great final one.
