― Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

“Darkness was cheap, and Scrooge liked it.”
― Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

“Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster.”
― Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
