On the motionless branches of some trees, autumn berries hung like clusters of coral beads, as in those fabled orchards where the fruits were jewels . . .

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

I saw that the bride within t...

I saw that the bride within the bridal dress had withered like the dress, and like the flowers, and had no brightness left but the brightness of her sunken eyes.

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

The forces that affect our li...

The forces that affect our lives, the influences that mold and shape us, are often like whispers in a different room, teasingly indistinct, apprehended only with difficulty.

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

A man in public life expects ...

A man in public life expects to be sneered at -- it is the fault of his elevated situation, and not of himself.

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

There was a gay fiction among...

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 1195 quotes

How beautiful you are! You ar...

How beautiful you are! You are more beautiful in anger than in repose. I don't ask you for your love; give me yourself and your hatred; give me yourself and that pretty rage; give me yourself and that enchanting scorn; it will be enough for me.

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

It's in vain to recall the pa...

It's in vain to recall the past, unless it works some influence upon the present.

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

We lawyers are always curious...

We lawyers are always curious, always inquisitive, always picking up odds and ends for our patchwork minds, since there is no knowing when and where they may fit into some corner.

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

Nothing is discovered without...

Nothing is discovered without God's intention and assistance, and I suppose every new knowledge of His works that is conceded to man to be distinctly a revelation by which men are to guide themselves.

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

I have been very fortunate in...

I have been very fortunate in worldly matters; many men have worked much harder, and not succeeded half so well; but I never could have done what I have done, without the habits of punctuality, order, and diligence, without the determination to concentrate myself on one object at a time, no matter how quickly its successor should come upon its heels, which I then formed.

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

I took her hand in mine, and ...

I took her hand in mine, and we went out of the ruined place; and, as the morning mists had risen long ago when I first left the forge, so, the evening mists were rising now, and in all the broad expanse of tranquil light they showed to me, I saw no shadow of another parting from her.

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

things cannot be expected to ...

things cannot be expected to turn up of themselves. We must in a measure assist to turn them up

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

The wind is rushing after us,...

The wind is rushing after us, and the clouds are flying after us, and the moon is plunging after us, and the whole wild night is in pursuit of us; but, so far we are pursued by nothing else.

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

Think now and then that there...

Think now and then that there is a man who would give his life, to keep a life you love beside you.

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

If I could not walk far and f...

If I could not walk far and fast, I think I should just explode and perish.

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

I never thought before, that ...

I never thought before, that there was a woman in the world who could affect me so much by saying so little. But don't be hard in your construction of me. You don't know what my state of mind towards you is. You don't know how you haunt and bewilder me. You don't know how the cursed carelessness that is over-officious in helping me at every other turning of my life WON'T help me here. You have struck it dead, I think, and I sometimes wish you had struck me dead along with it.

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

So, throughout life, our wors...

So, throughout life, our worst weaknesses and meannesses are usually committed for the sake of the people whom we most despise.

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

I find my breath gets short, ...

I find my breath gets short, but it seldom gets longer as a man gets older. I take it as it comes, and make the most of it. That's the best way, ain't it?

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

Huge knots of sea-weed hung u...

Huge knots of sea-weed hung upon the jagged and pointed stones, trembling in every breath of wind; and the green ivy clung mournfully round the dark and ruined battlements. Behind it rose the ancient castle, its towers roofless, and its massive walls crumbling away, but telling us proudly of its own might and strength, as when, seven hundred years ago, it rang with the clash of arms, or resounded with the noise of feasting and revelry.

Charles Dickens 1195 quotes

Bleak, dark, and piercing col...

Bleak, dark, and piercing cold, it was a night for the well-housed and fed to draw round the bright fire, and thank God they were at home; and for the homeless starving wretch to lay him down and die. Many hunger-worn outcasts close their eyes in our bare streets at such times, who, let their crimes have been what they may, can hardly open them in a more bitter world.
