Charles Dickens
It is because I think so much of warm and sensitive hearts, that I would spare them from being wounded.
Charles Dickens
There are hopes, the bloom of whose beauty would be spoiled by the trammels of description too lovely, too delicate, too sacred for words, they should only be known through the sympathy of hearts.
Charles Dickens
