| All is going on as it was wont. The waves are hoarse with repetition of their mystery; the dust lies piled upon the shore; the sea-birds soar and hover; the winds and clouds go forth upon their trackless flight; the white arms beckon, in the moonlight, to the invisible country far away. | Charles Dickens | Dombey and Son |  | | "Walter," she said, looking full upon him with her affectionate eyes, "like you, I hope for better things. I will pray for them, and believe that they will arrive." | Charles Dickens | Dombey and Son | | | "I am not afeard, my Heart's-delight," resumed the Captain. "There's been most uncommon bad weather in them latitudes, there's no denyin', and they have drove and drove and been beat off, may be t'other side the world. But the ship's a good ship, and the lad's a good lad; and it ain't easy, thank the Lord," the Captain made a little bow, "to break up hearts of oak, whether they're in brigs or buzzums." | Charles Dickens | Dombey and Son | | | "If you could see my legs when I take my boots off, you'd form some idea of what unrequited affection is." | Charles Dickens | Dombey and Son | | | "It's nothing," returned Mrs Chick.

I can give up nothing for you - I have nothing to resign, and no one to forsake; but all my love and life shall be devoted to you, and with my last breath I will breathe your name to God if I have sense and memory left." | Charles Dickens | Dombey and Son | | | "The object of our lives is won. Henceforth let us wear it silently. My lips are closed upon the past from this hour. I forgive you your part in to-morrow's wickedness. May God forgive my own!" | Charles Dickens | Dombey and Son | | | "Its matter was not new to me, but was presented in a new aspect. It shook me in my habit - the habit of nine-tenths of the world - of believing that all was right about me, because I was used to it . . . " | Charles Dickens | Dombey and Son | | | Captain Cuttle, like all mankind, little knew how much hope had survived within him under discouragement, until he felt its death-shock. | Charles Dickens | Dombey and Son | |
