Oliver Twist

Interesting/good quotes from "Oliver Twist," which I finished reading yesterday at work (while working back-to-back double (16 hour) shifts)):

"We need be careful how we deal with those about us, when every death carries to some small circle of survivors, thoughts of so much omitted, and so little done--of so many things forgotten, and so many more which might have been repaired! There is no remorse so deep as that which is unavailing; if we would have be spared it tortures, let us remember this, in time."

"Men who look on nature, and their fellowmen, and cry that all is dark and gloomy, are in the right; but the sombre colours are reflections from their own jaundiced eyes and hearts. The real hues are delicate, and need clearer vision."
