7 February 1812 to 9 June 1870

I was going to write a little something about Charles Dickens and I started reading up on him and I couldn’t think how I could summarise Dickens in just a couple of sentences. Plus everyone knows who Dickens is. So, I’m just going to leave you with a few of my favourite quotes.

“No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.”

“There are books of which the backs and covers are by far the best parts.”

“I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be.” 

“You have been the last dream of my soul.”
