"Every man has some good in him, and every man has some bad in him."
"There are very few people, I imagine, who have not, at some time or other, been in love with some object or other."
"My advice is, never do to-morrow what you can do to-day. Procrastination is the thief of time."
"I am a man who has always been very much in the habit of doing what he likes, and of not doing what he doesn't like."
"I have no patience with people who are always talking about their own grievances."
About Charles Dickens (1812-1870)
English novelist whose Oliver Twist (1838), A Christmas Carol (1843), and Bleak House (1852) made Victorian poverty inescapable for the British middle class. Closely associated with William Makepeace Thackeray (Vanity Fair rival and contemporary serial novelist) and George Eliot (later Victorian giant who built on Dickens's social-realism foundation). For an intellectual contrast, see Jeremy Bentham, founder of utilitarianism (1748-1832) — Mr. Gradgrind in Hard Times (1854) is a direct caricature of Bentham-style social calculation — 'Facts, sir, nothing but Facts!' is the most-cited literary attack on utilitarianism's reduction of human life to measurable units. Dickens's serialized social-novel form is itself a rebuke of utilitarian abstraction.
