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.

The last trumpet ever to be sounded shall blow even algebra to wreck.
Charles Dickens
Image
To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.

There are hopes, the bloom of whose beauty would be spoiled by the trammels of description too lovely, too delicate, too sacred for words, they should only be known through the sympathy of hearts.
Charles Dickens
Image
Never close your lips to those whom you have already opened your heart.
Charles Dickens
Image
I had neither the good sense nor the good feeling to know that this was all my fault, and that if I had been easier with Joe, Joe would have been easier with me. I felt impatient of him and out of temper with him in which condition he heaped coals of fire on my head.
