"When a man bleeds inwardly, it is..." - Quote by Charles Dickens

“Did it ever strike you on such a morning as this that drowning would be happiness and peace?”

“New thoughts and hopes were whirling through my mind, and all the colours of my life were changing.”

“All of us have wonders hidden in our breasts, only needing circumstances to evoke them.”

“It is a truth forever, that where the speech of man stops short there Music's reign begins.”

“Mrs. Lammle's manner changed under the poor silly girl's embraces, and she turned extremely pale: directing one appealing look, first to Mrs. Boffin, and then to Mr. Boffin. Both understood her instantly, with a more delicate subtlety than much better educated people, whose perception came less directly from the heart, could have brought to bear upon the case.”

“Love that we cannot have is the one that lasts the longest,hurts the deepest,but feels the strongest”

“Upon the whole, therefore, she found, what has been sometimes found before, that an event to which she had looked forward with impatient desire, did not in taking place, bring all the satisfaction she had promised herself. It was consequently necessary to name some other period for the commencement of actual felicity; to have some other point on which her wishes and hopes might be fixed, and by again enjoying the pleasure of anticipation, console herself for the present, and prepare for another disappointment.”

“In any combat between a rogue and a fool the sympathy of mankind is always with the rogue.”

“Some mothers need happy children; others need unhappy ones-otherwise they cannot prove their maternal virtues.”
