Charles Dickens Quotes

During The Whole Time Consumed In The Slow Growth Of This Family Tree, The House Of Smallweed, Always Early To Go Out And Late To Marry, Has Strengthened Itself In Its Practical Character, Has Discarded All Amusements, Discountenanced All Story-books, Fairy-tales, Fictions, And Fables, And Banished All Levities Whatsoever. Hence The Gratifying Fact That It Has Had No Child Born To It And That The Complete Little Men And Women Whom It Has Produced Have Been Observed To Bear A Likeness To Old Monkeys With Something Depressing On Their Minds.
