"So she sat, corpse-like, as we played at cards, the filings and trimmings on her bridal dress, looking like earthly paper"

"She lived and found powerful friends. She is living now. She is a lady and ver beautiful. And love her!"

"Nowithstanding by inability to settle on anything"

"Stay! Keep off! If you are grateful to me for what I did when i was a little child, I hope you have shown your gratitude by meaning your way of life. If you have come here to thank me, it was not necessary. "

"I wish you well, and happy!"

"Surely you must undertand - I -"

"The abhorrence in which I held the man, the dread I had of him, the repugnance with which I shrank from him, could not have been exceeded if he had been some terrible beast"

"My sense of my own worthless conduct to them was greater than every consideration"

"I had looked into my affairs so often, that I had thoroughly destroyed any slight notion I might ever have had of their bearings"

"I resent the sort of bright and gratified recognition that still shone in his face. I resented it, because it seemed to imply that he expected me to respond to it"

"Might a mere warmint ask what property?" - "Might a mere warmint ask whose property?"

"all of you owns stock and land; which on you owns a brought-up London gentlemen?"

"It was wretched weather; stormy and wet, stormy and wet"

"If t he wind and the rain had driven away the interveneing years, had scattered all the intervening objects, gad swept us to the churchyard where we first stood face to face on such different levels, I could not have known my convict more distinctly than I knew him now, as he chat int he chair before the fire. No need to take a file from his pocket and show it to me; no need to take the handkerchief from his neck and twist it round his head; no need to hug himself with both his arms, and take a shivering turn across the room, looking back at me for recognition"

"All the truth of my position came flashing on me; and its disappointments, dangers, disgraces, consequences of all kinds, rushed in such a multitude that I was borne down by them and had tons struggle for every breath I drew"

"You shall read 'em to me, dear boy! And if they're in foreign languages wot I don't understand, I shall be just as proud as if I did"

"The smell of scented soap on his great hand"

"Lord forbid that I should want anything for not standing in Pip's way"

"But what, what if it was in my instructions to mae you a present, as compensation?"

"Joe laid his hand upon my shoulder with the touch of a woman"

"O dear good Joe, whom I was so ready to leave and so unthankful to, I see you again, with your muscular blacksmith's arm before your eyes, and your broad chest heaving, and your voice dying away. O dear good faithful tender Joe, I feel the loving tremble of your hand upon my arm, as solemnly this day as if it had been he rustle of an angel's wing!"

"I was lost in the mazes of my future fortunes, and could not retrace the by-paths we had trodden together"

"Mr. Jaggers had looked on at this, as one who recognised in Joe the village idiot, and in me his keeper"

"I would rather you told, Joe"

"Went on to express so much wonder at my being a gentleman, that I didn't half like it"

"Dissatisfied with my fortune of course I could not be; but it is possible that I may have been, without quite knowing it, dissatisfied with myself"

"The very stars to which I then raised my eyes, I am afraid I took to be but poor and humble stars for glittering on the rustic objects among which I had passed my life"

"I fell into much the same confused division of mind between it and t he better rooms to which I was going, as I had been in so often between the forge and Miss Havisham's, and Biddy and Estella"

"Finding it very sorrowful and strange that this first night of my bright fortunes should be the loneliest I had ever known"
