More quotes by Charles Dickens
Some women's faces are, in their brightness, a prophecy and some, in their sadness, a history.
Charles Dickens
Anything that makes a noise is satisfactory to a crowd.
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
I admire machinery as much is any man, and am as thankful to it as any man can be for what it does for us. But it will never be a substitute for the face of a man, with his soul in it, encouraging another man to be brave and true.
Charles Dickens
Strong mental agitation and disturbance was no novelty to him, even before his late sufferings. It never is, to obstinate and sullen natures for they struggle hard to be such.
Charles Dickens
She forgot to be shy at the moment, in honestly warning him away from the sunken wreck he had a dream of raising and looked at him with eyes which assuredly, in association with her patient face, her fragile figure, her spare dress, and the wind and rain, did not turn him from his purpose of helping her.
Charles Dickens
Time and tide will wait for no man, saith the adage. But all men have to wait for time and tide.
Charles Dickens
An observer of men who finds himself steadily repelled by some apparently trifling thing in a stranger is right to give it great weight. It may be the clue to the whole mystery. A hair or two will show where a lion is hidden. A very little key will open a very heavy door.
Charles Dickens
It is the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
Charles Dickens
Bring in the bottled lightning, a clean tumbler, and a corkscrew.
Charles Dickens
The flowers that sleep by night, opened their gentle eyes and turned them to the day. The light, creation's mind, was everywhere, and all things owned its power.
Charles Dickens
There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.
Charles Dickens
There wasn't room to swing a cat there.
Charles Dickens
Veels vithin veels, a prison in a prison.
Charles Dickens
She had gained a reputation for beauty, and (which is often another thing) was beautiful.
Charles Dickens
It was a dagger in the haughty father's heart, an arrow in his brain, to see how the flesh and blood he could not disown clung to this obscure stranger, and he sitting by. Not that he cared to whom his daughter turned, or from whom turned away. The swift sharp agony struck through him, as he thought of what his son might do.
Charles Dickens
Money, says the proverb, makes money. When you have got a little, it is often easy to get more.
Charles Dickens
The civility which money will purchase, is rarely extended to those who have none.
Charles Dickens
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
Charles Dickens
Notwithstanding his very liberal laudation of himself, however, the Major was selfish. It may be doubted whether there ever was a more entirely selfish person at heart or at stomach is perhaps a better expression, seeing that he was more decidedly endowed with that latter organ than with the former.
