More quotes by Charles Dickens
Mr. Tulkinghorn, sitting in the twilight by the open window, enjoys his wine. As if it whispered to him of its fifty years of silence and seclusion, it shuts him up the closer. More impenetrable than ever, he sits, and drinks, and mellows as it were in secrecy, pondering at that twilight hour on all the mysteries he knows.
Charles Dickens
I fear your kind and open communication, which has rendered me more painfully conscious of my own defects, has not improved me, sighed Kate.
Charles Dickens
Good never come of such evil, a happier end was not in nature to so unhappy a beginning.
Charles Dickens
Accidents will occur in the best regulated families.

There is a wisdom of the head, and a wisdom of the heart.
Charles Dickens
Have a heart that never hardens
Charles Dickens
The weathercocks on spires and housetops were mysterious with hints of stormy wind, and pointed, like so many ghostly fingers, out to dangerous seas, where fragments of great wrecks were drifting, perhaps, and helpless men were rocked upon them into a sleep as deep as the unfathomable waters.
Charles Dickens
Really, for a man who had been out of practice for so many years it was a splendid laugh!
Charles Dickens
It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.
Charles Dickens
There wasn't room to swing a cat there.
Charles Dickens
Affery, like greater people, had always been right in her facts, and always wrong in the theories she deduced from them.
Charles Dickens
Dumb as a drum vith a hole in it, sir.
Charles Dickens
He was the meekest of his sex, the mildest of little men. He sidled in and out of a room, to take up the less space. He walked as softly as the Ghost in Hamlet, and more slowly. He carried his head on one side, partly in modest depreciation of himself, partly in modest propitiation of everybody else.
Charles Dickens
A day wasted on others is not wasted on one's self.
Charles Dickens
I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart
Charles Dickens
... as lonesome as a kitten in a wash-house copper with the lid on.
