Charles Dickens

Caring, Clouds, Light

Charles Dickens (2015). “British Classics: A Tale of Two Cities (Illustrated)”, p.125, The Planet

Do you want to be a gentleman, to spite her or to gain her over? Because, if it is to spite her, I should think - but you know best - that might be better and more independently done by caring nothing for her words. And if it is to gain her over, I should think - but you know best - she was not worth gaining over.

Charles Dickens

Caring, Thinking, Gentleman

Charles Dickens (1861). “Great Expectations”, p.48

The mine which Time has slowly dug beneath familiar objects is sprung in an instant; and what was rock before, becomes but sand and dust.

Charles Dickens

Change, Caring, Men
