Friendless I can never be, for all mankind are my kindred, and I am on ill terms with no one member of my great family.
Charles DickensConstancy in love is a good thing; but it means nothing, and is nothing, without constancy in every kind of effort.
Charles DickensA wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other. A solemn consideration, when I enter a great city by night, that every one of those darkly clustered houses encloses its own secret; that every room in every one of them encloses its own secret; that every beating heart in the hundreds of thousands of breasts there, is, in some of its imaginings, a secret to the heart nearest it!
Charles Dickens
