Charles Dickens
- Hard Times
Now, what I want is Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the mind of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of any service to them.
Charles Dickens
- A Tale of Two Cities
I see that child who lay upon her bosom and who bore my name, a man winning his way up in that path of life which once was mine. I see him winning it so well, that my name is made illustrious there by the light of his. It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest I go to than I have ever known.
