More quotes by Charles Dickens
If I may so express it, I was steeped in Dora. I was not merely over head and ears in love with her, but I was saturated through and through. Enough love might have been wrung out of me, metaphorically speaking, to drown anybody in and yet there would have remained enough within me, and all over me, to pervade my entire existence.
Charles Dickens
For the night-wind has a dismal trick of wandering round and round a building of that sort, and moaning as it goes and of trying, with its unseen hand, the windows and the doors and seeking out some crevices by which to enter.
Charles Dickens
It was a foggy day in London, and the fog was heavy and dark. Animate London, with smarting eyes and irritated lungs, was blinking, wheezing, and choking inanimate London was a sooty spectre, divided in purpose between being visible and invisible, and so being wholly neither.
Charles Dickens
Let us be moral. Let us contemplate existence.
Charles Dickens
Really, for a man who had been out of practice for so many years it was a splendid laugh!
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
I could settle down into a state of equable low spirits, and resign myself to coffee.
Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
Heaven suits the back to the burden.
Charles Dickens
But tears were not the things to find their way to Mr. Bumble’s soul his heart was waterproof. Like washable beaver hats that improve with rain, his nerves were rendered stouter and more vigorous, by showers of tears, which, being tokens of weakness, and so far tacit admissions of his own power, pleased and exalted him.
Charles Dickens
The heavy rain beat down the tender branches of vine and jessamine, and trampled on them in its fury and when the lightning gleamed, it showed the tearful leaves shivering and cowering together at the window, and tapping at it urgently, as if beseeching to be sheltered from the dismal night.
Charles Dickens
A man ain't got no right to be a public man, unless he meets the public views.
Charles Dickens
It being a remarkable fact in theatrical history, but one long since established beyond dispute, that it is a hopeless endeavor to attract people to a theatre unless they can be first brought to believe that they will never get in.
Charles Dickens
Skewered through and through with office-pens, and bound hand and foot with red tape.
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
There is prodigious strength in sorrow and despair.
Charles Dickens
Subdue your appetites, my dears, and you've conquered human nature .
Charles Dickens
It is a most miserable thing to feel ashamed of home.
Charles Dickens
If a pig could give his mind to anything, he would not be a pig.
Charles Dickens
He had but one eye, and the popular prejudice runs in favor of two.
