Charles Dickens Quotes:
Ocupation: Writer
Life: February 7, 1812 - June 9, 1870
Birthday: February 7
Death: June 9
A tender young cork, however, would have had no more chance against a pair of corkscrews, or a tender young tooth against a pair of dentists, or a little shuttlecock against two battledores, than I had against Uriah and Mrs. Heep. They did just what they liked with me; and wormed things out of me that I had no desire to tell, with a certainty I blush to think of.
