More from Charles Dickens
"A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other."
"I have a great deal of the child in me, and that is why I love children."
"The American women are certainly not pretty... They are not graceful, they are not elegant, they are not accomplished, they are not intellectual, they are not virtuous, and they are not honest."
"I am a man who has a good deal of respect for the law, but I have a good deal more respect for justice."
"Vengeance and retribution require a long time; it is the rule, rather than the exception."
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.
