More quotes by Charles Dickens
Some women's faces are, in their brightness, a prophecy and some, in their sadness, a history.
Charles Dickens
Joe gave me some more gravy.
Charles Dickens
He was by no means opposed to hard labour on principle, for he would work away at a cricket-match by the day together, - running, and catching, and batting, and bowling, and revelling in toil which would exhaust a galley-slave.
Charles Dickens
Accidents will occur in the best regulated families.
Charles Dickens
You are in every line I have ever read.
Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
Time has been lost and opportunity thrown away, but I am yet a young man, and may retrieve it.
Charles Dickens
God bless us, every one!
Charles Dickens
A new heart for a New Year, always!
Charles Dickens
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
Charles Dickens
One disagreeable result of whispering is that it seems to evoke an atmosphere of silence, haunted by the ghosts of sound - strange cracks and tickings, the rustling of garments that have no substance in them, and the tread of dreadful feet that would leave no mark on the sea-sand or the winter snow.
Charles Dickens
I only ask to be free. The butterflies are free. Mankind will surely not deny to Harold Skimpole what it concedes to the butterflies.
Charles Dickens
... still his philanthropy was of that gunpowderous sort that the difference between it and animosity was hard to determine.
Charles Dickens
Repression is the only lasting philosophy. The dark deference of fear and slavery, my friend, will keep the dogs obedient to the whip, as long as this roof shuts out the sky.
Charles Dickens
