... Treachery don't come natural to beaming youth but trust and pity, love and constancy,-they do, thank God!
Charles Dickens

Let us be moral. Let us contemplate existence.
Charles Dickens
Image
Never, never, before Heaven, have I thought of you but as the single, bright, pure, blessed recollection of my boyhood and my youth.

Charles Dickens
Image

Charles Dickens
Image
