“Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.”
–Charles Dickens
In honor of Dickens’ birthday, I highly recommend one of my all time favorite novels, Great Expectations. After all, there are very few places where you can read great prose like this:
“That was a memorable day to me, for it made great changes in me. But, it is the same with any life. Imagine one selected day struck out of it, and think how different its course would have been. Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.”
Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
