More quotes by Charles Dickens
He was wise enough to know that nothing ever happened on this globe, for good, at which some people did not have their fill of laughter in the outset
Charles Dickens
Prowling about the rooms, sitting down, getting up, stirring the fire, looking out the window, teasing my hair, sitting down to write, writing nothing, writing something and tearing it up...
Charles Dickens
Heaped on the floor were turkeys, geese, game, poultry, brawn, great joints of meat, sucking pigs, long wreaths of sausages, mince-pies, plum-puddings, bartrels of oysters, re-hot chestnuts, cherry-cheeked apples, juicy oranges, luscious pears, immense twelfth-cakes, and seething bowls of punch that made the chamber dim with their delicious steam.
Charles Dickens
... when the locked door opens, and there comes in a young woman, deadly pale, and with long fair hair, who glides to the fire, and sits down in the chair we have left there, wringing her hands.
Charles Dickens
There was a gay fiction among us that we were constantly enjoying ourselves, and a skeleton truth that we never did. To the best of my belief, our case was in the last respect a rather common one.
Charles Dickens
In particular, there was a butler in a blue coat and bright buttons, who gave quite a winey flavour to the table beer he poured it out so superbly.
Charles Dickens
All other swindlers upon earth are nothing to the self-swindlers, and with such pretences did I cheat myself. Surely a curious thing. That I should innocently take a bad half-crown of somebody else's manufacture, is reasonable enough but that I should knowingly reckon the spurious coin of my own make, as good money!
Charles Dickens
Loves and Cupids took to flight afraid, and Martyrdom had no such torment in its painted history of suffering.
Charles Dickens
I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.
Charles Dickens
I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach!
Charles Dickens
It's nothing, returned Mrs Chick. It's merely change of weather. We must expect change.
Charles Dickens
Time has been lost and opportunity thrown away, but I am yet a young man, and may retrieve it.
Charles Dickens
One disagreeable result of whispering is that it seems to evoke an atmosphere of silence, haunted by the ghosts of sound - strange cracks and tickings, the rustling of garments that have no substance in them, and the tread of dreadful feet that would leave no mark on the sea-sand or the winter snow.
Charles Dickens
Let no man turn aside, ever so slightly, from the broad path of honour, on the plausible pretence that he is justified by the goodness of his end. All good ends can be worked out by good means.
Charles Dickens
'Tis love that makes the world go round, my baby.
Charles Dickens
Trifles make the sum of life.
Charles Dickens
Have I yet to learn that the hardest and best-borne trials are those which are never chronicled in any earthly record, and are suffered every day!
Charles Dickens
Dumb as a drum vith a hole in it, sir.
Charles Dickens
I was always treated as if I had insisted on being born, in opposition to the dictates of reason, religion, and morality, and against the dissuadinig arguments of my best friends.
Charles Dickens
When she took her opposite place in the carriage corner, the brightness in her face was so charming to behold, that on her exclaiming, What beautiful stars and what a glorious night! the Secretary said Yes, but seemed to prefer to see the night and the stars in the light of her lovely little countenance, to looking out of window.
Charles Dickens
