Charles Dickens Quotes:
Ocupation: Writer
Life: February 7, 1812 - June 9, 1870
Birthday: February 7
Death: June 9
There have been occasions in my later life (I suppose as in most lives) when I have felt for a time as if a thick curtain had fallen on all its interest and romance, to shut me out from anything save dull endurance any more. Never has that curtain dropped so heavy and blank, as when my way in life lay stretched out straight before me through the newly-entered road of apprenticeship to Joe.
