Whitney Houston

This weekend Whitney Houston was found dead. A tragic piece of news. She was a great singer. She adds up to the list of tragic singers that have died in difficult circumstances: Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson....

CHARLES DICKENS 200TH BIRTHDAY

TOMORROW, SEVENTH FEBRUARY IT IS CHARLES DICKENS 200TH BIRTHDAY.

These are some famous quotes from Dickens

“Accidents will occur in the best regulated families.”

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all doing direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.”
-Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

“Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pound ought and six, result misery.” -Charles Dickens, David Copperfield, 1849

“We need never be ashamed of our tears.”
-Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
