Heart Quotes
We hope you enjoy this collection of quotes about the heart written by Charles Dickens.
Notwithstanding his very liberal laudation
Notwithstanding his very liberal laudation of himself, however, the Major was selfish. It may be doubted whether there ever was a more entirely selfish person at heart; or at stomach is perhaps a better expression, seeing that he was more decidedly endowed with that latter organ than with the former. ~ Dombey and Son
Her heart is given him
“Her heart–is given him, with all its love and truth. She would joyfully die with him, or, better than that, die for him. She knows he has failings, but she thinks they have grown up through his being like one cast away, for the want of something to trust in, and care for, and think well of.” ~ Our Mutual Friend
If you could say, with
“If you could say, with truth, to your own solitary heart, to-night, ‘I have secured to myself the love and attachment, the gratitude or respect, of no human creature; I have won myself a tender place in no regard; I have done nothing good or serviceable to be remembered by!’ your seventy-eight years would be seventy-eight heavy curses; would they not?” ~ A Tale of Two Cities
“A new heart for a
“A new heart for a New Year, always!” ~ The Chimes: A Goblin Story

But at most times he occupied a great amount of her attention. ~ Our Mutual Friend
