More quotes by Charles Dickens
He had a certain air of being a handsome man-which he was not and a certain air of being a well-bred man-which he was not. It was mere swagger and challenge but in this particular, as in many others, blustering assertion goes for proof, half over the world.
Charles Dickens
Cows are my passion. What I have ever sighed for has been to retreat to a Swiss farm, and live entirely surrounded by cows - and china.
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
The citizen ... preserved the resolute bearing of one who was not to be frowned down or daunted, and who cared very little for any nobility but that of worth and manhood.
Charles Dickens
For a long time, no village girl would dress her hair or bosom with the sweetest flower from that field of death: and after many a year had come and gone, the berries growing there, were still believed to leave too deep a stain upon the hand that plucked them.
Charles Dickens
You speak so feelingly and so manfully, Charles Darnay
Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens
... when he saw her sitting there all alone, so young, and good, and beautiful, and kind to him and heard her thrilling voice, so natural and sweet, and such a golden link between him and all his life's love and happiness, rising out of the silence he turned his face away, and hid his tears.
Charles Dickens
The man who now confronted Gashford, was a squat, thickset personage, with a low, retreating forehead, a coarse shock head of hair, and eyes so small and near together, that his broken nose alone seemed to prevent their meeting and fusing into one of the usual size.
Charles Dickens
Nobody near me here, but rats, and they are fine stealthy secret fellows.
Charles Dickens
Scattered wits take a long time in picking up.
Charles Dickens
Never close your lips to those whom you have already opened your heart.
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
Really, for a man who had been out of practice for so many years it was a splendid laugh!
Charles Dickens
Great men are seldom over-scrupulous in the arrangement of their attire.
Charles Dickens
I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.
Charles Dickens
Joe gave me some more gravy.
Charles Dickens
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
