"Ah, Miss Harriet, it would do us..." - Quote by Charles Dickens

“You will profit by the failure, and will avoid it another time. I have done a similar thing myself, in construction, often. Every failure teaches a man something, if he will learn.”

“I loved you madly; in the distasteful work of the day, in the wakeful misery of the night, girded by sordid realities, or wandering through Paradises and Hells of visions into which I rushed, carrying your image in my arms, I loved you madly.”

“But the words she spoke of Mrs Harris, lambs could not forgive ... nor worms forget.”

“May I do to others as I would that they should do unto me.”

“I would rather have India reduced to a state of pauperism than have thousands of drunkards in our midst.”

“I think a curse should rest on me - because I love this war. I know it's smashing and shattering the lives of thousands every moment - and yet - I can't help it - I enjoy every second of it.”

“I owe my solitude to other people.”

“But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins.”

“Truth is as hard as adamant and tender as a blossom.”
