Charles Dickens Quotes:
Ocupation: Writer
Life: February 7, 1812 - June 9, 1870
Birthday: February 7
Death: June 9
A display of indifference to all the actions and passions of mankind was not supposed to be such a distinguished quality at that time, I think, as I have observed it to be considered since. I have known it very fashionable indeed. I have seen it displayed with such success, that I have encountered some fine ladies and gentlemen who might as well have been born caterpillars.
