Charles Dickens Quotes About Torture

• We need be careful how we deal with those about us, when every death carries to some small circle of survivors, thoughts of so much omitted, and so little done- of so many things forgotten, and so many more which might have been repaired!

But I think she did not. I think that in the endurance of her own trial, she forgot mine, Estella.
