More quotes by Charles Dickens
In fine weather the old gentelman is almost constantly in the garden and when it is too wet to go into it, he will look out the window at it, by the hour together. He has always something to do there, and you will see him digging, and sweeping, and cutting, and planting, with manifest delight.
Charles Dickens
All the housemaid hopes is, happiness for 'em - but marriage is a lottery, and the more she thinks about it, the more she feels the independence and the safety of a single life.
Charles Dickens
Eccentricities of genius.
Charles Dickens
'Do you spell it with a 'V' or a 'W'?' inquired the judge. 'That depends upon the taste and fancy of the speller, my Lord'.
Charles Dickens
His wardrobe was extensive-very extensive-not strictly classical perhaps, not quite new, nor did it contain any one garment made precisely after the fashion of any age or time, but everything was more or less spangled and what can be prettier than spangles!
Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
Of all bad listeners, the worst and most terrible to encounter is the man who is so fond of listening that he wishes to hear, not only your conversation, but that of every other person in the room.
Charles Dickens
Poetry's unnat'ral no man ever talked poetry 'cept a beadle on boxin' day.
Charles Dickens
A new heart for a New Year, always!
Charles Dickens
And it is not a slight thing when they, who are so fresh from God, love us.
Charles Dickens
I will die here where I have walked. And I will walk here, though I am in my grave. I will walk here until the pride of this house is humbled.
Charles Dickens
Well, well! said my aunt. I only ask. I don't depreciate her. Poor little couple! And so you think you were formed for one another, and are to go through a party-supper-table kind of life, like two pretty pieces of confectionery, do you, Trot?
Charles Dickens
Their demeanor is invariably morose, sullen, clownish and repulsive. I should think there is not, on the face of the earth, a people so entirely destitute of humor, vivacity, or the capacity for enjoyment.
Charles Dickens
-Why don't you cry again, you little wretch? -Because I'll never cry for you again.
Charles Dickens
The broken heart. You think you will die, but you just keep living, day after day after terrible day.
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
... she indulged in melancholy - that cheapest and most accessible of luxuries.
Charles Dickens
The world belongs to those who set out to conquer it armed with self confidence and good humour.
Charles Dickens
The law is an ass, an idiot.
