Home is like the ship at sea, Sailing on eternally Oft the anchor forth we cast, But can never make it fast.
Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
Home is a name, a word, it is a strong one stronger than magician ever spoke, or spirit ever answered to, in the strongest conjuration.
Charles Dickens
The broken heart. You think you will die, but you just keep living, day after day after terrible day.
Charles Dickens
A multitude of people and yet solitude.
Charles Dickens
