Famous Quotes & Sayings

Charles Dickens

I don't remember who was there, except Dora. I have not the least idea what we had for dinner, besides Dora. My impression is, that I dined off Dora, entirely, and sent away half-a-dozen plates untouched. I sat next to her. I talked to her. She had the most delightful little voice, the gayest little laugh, the pleasantest and most fascinating little ways, that ever led a lost youth into hopeless slavery. She was rather diminutive altogether. So much the more precious, I thought.

What I mean is that I am under the influence of some tremendous attraction which I have resisted in vain, and which overmasters me.

This and the confusion of my thoughts, so that I am fit for nothing, is what I mean by your being the ruin of me.
