More quotes by Charles Dickens
This reminds me, Godmother, to ask you a serious question. You are as wise as wise can be (having been brought up by the fairies), and you can tell me this: Is it better to have had a good thing and lost it, or never to have had it?
Charles Dickens
I am at the moment deaf in the ears, hoarse in the throat, red in the nose, green in the gills, damp in the eyes, twitchy in the joints and fractious in temper from a most intolerable and oppressive cold.
Charles Dickens
There seems a magic in the very name of Christmas.
Charles Dickens
A heart well worth winning, and well won. A heart that, once won, goes through fire and water for the winner, and never changes, and is never daunted.
Charles Dickens
There are strings, said Mr. Tappertit, flourishing his bread-and-cheese knife in the air, in the human heart that had better not be wibrated...
Charles Dickens
There is prodigious strength in sorrow and despair.
Charles Dickens
Try not to associate bodily defect with mental, my good friend, except for a solid reason
Charles Dickens
Troubles are exceedingly gregarious in their nature, and flying in flocks are apt to perch capriciously.
Charles Dickens
All knives and forks were working away at a rate that was quite alarming very few words were spoken and everybody seemed to eat his utmost, in self defence, as if a famine were expected to set in before breakfast-time to-morrow morning, and it had become high time to assert the first law of nature.
Charles Dickens
Gold, for the instant, lost its luster in his eyes, for there were countless treasures of the heart which it could never purchase
Charles Dickens
Tongue well that's a wery good thing when it an't a woman.
Charles Dickens
Stephen Blackpool fall into the loneliest of lives, the life of solitude among a familiar crowd. The stranger in the land who looks into ten thousand faces for some answering look and never finds it, is in cheering society as compared with him who passes ten averted faces daily, that were once the countenances of friends
Charles Dickens
I don't like that sort of school... where the bright childish imagination is utterly discouraged... where I have never seen among the pupils, whether boys or girls, anything but little parrots and small calculating machines.
Charles Dickens
Lawyers hold that there are two kinds of particularly bad witnesses--a reluctant witness, and a too-willing witness.
Charles Dickens
Circumstances beyond my individual control.
Charles Dickens
The last trumpet ever to be sounded shall blow even algebra to wreck.
Charles Dickens
We forge the chains we wear in life.
Charles Dickens
A commission of haberdashers could alone have reported what the rest of her poor dress was made of, but it had a strong general resemblance to seaweed, with here and there a gigantic tea-leaf. Her shawl looked particularly like a tea-leaf after long infusion.
Charles Dickens
Good never come of such evil, a happier end was not in nature to so unhappy a beginning.
Charles Dickens
It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.
Charles Dickens
