Berenice

“The unqualified truth is, that when I loved Estella with the love of a man, I loved her simply because I found her irresistible. Once for all; I knew to my sorrow, often and often, if not always, that I loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be. Once for all; I love her none the less because I knew it, and it had no more influence in restraining me, than if I had devoutly believed her to be human perfection.”
― Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

“I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.”
― Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

“You are in every line I have ever read.”

“I like the night. Without the dark, we'd never see the stars.”
