quotes[1]="\"Moths, and all sorts of ugly creatures,\" replied Estella, with a glance towards him, \"hover about a lighted candle.  Can the candle help it?\" -  <I>Great Expectations</I>";	
quotes[2]="\"As I said just now, the world has gone past me. I don't blame it; but I no longer understand it. Tradesmen are not the same as they used to be, apprentices are not the same, business is not the same, business commodities are not the same. Seven-eighths of my stock is old-fashioned. I am an old-fashioned man in an old-fashioned shop, in a street that is not the same as I remember it. I have fallen behind the time, and am too old to catch it again.\" -  <I>Dombey and Son</I>";	
quotes[3]="\"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 . . . \" -  <I>Dombey and Son</I>";	
quotes[4]="We have all some experience of a feeling, that comes over us occasionally, of what we are saying and doing having been said and done before, in a remote time - of our having been surrounded, dim ages ago, by the same faces, objects, and circumstances - of our knowing perfectly what will be said next, as if we suddenly remembered it!   -  <I>David Copperfield</I>";	
quotes[5]="\" . . . tell Wind and Fire where to stop,\" returned madame; \"but don't tell me.\" -  <I>A Tale of Two Cities</I>";	
quotes[6]="Some happy talent, and some fortunate opportunity, may form the two sides of the ladder on which some men mount, but the rounds of that ladder must be made of stuff to stand wear and tear; and there is no substitute for thorough-going, ardent, and sincere earnestness.   -  <I>David Copperfield</I>";	
quotes[7]="So, Mr. Chadband--of whom the persecutors say that it is no wonder he should go on for any length of time uttering such abominable nonsense, but that the wonder rather is that he should ever leave off, having once the audacity to begin--retires into private life  until he invests a little capital of supper in the oil-trade.  -  <I>Bleak House</I>";	
quotes[8]="Some philosophers tell us that selfishness is at the root of our best loves and affections.  Mr. Dombey's young child was, from the beginning, so distinctly important to him as a part of his own greatness, or (which is the same thing) of the greatness of Dombey and Son, that there is no doubt his parental affection might have been easily traced, like many a goodly superstructure of fair fame, to a very low foundation. -  <I>Dombey and Son</I>";	
quotes[9]="He lowered the window, and looked out at the rising sun. There was a ridge of ploughed land, with a plough upon it where it had been left last night when the horses were unyoked; beyond, a quiet coppice-wood, in which many leaves of burning red and golden yellow still remained upon the trees. Though the earth was cold and wet, the sky was clear, and the sun rose bright, placid, and beautiful. -  <I>A Tale of Two Cities</I>";	
quotes[10]="\" . . . The sun does not shine upon this fair earth to meet frowning eyes, depend upon it.\" -  <I>Nicholas Nickleby</I>";	
quotes[11]="\"If you could say, with truth, to your own solitary heart, to-night, 'I have secured to myself the love and attachment, the gratitude or respect, of no human creature; I have won myself a tender place in no regard; I have done nothing good or serviceable to be remembered by!' your seventy-eight years would be seventy-eight heavy curses; would they not?\" -  <I>A Tale of Two Cities</I>";	
quotes[12]="At Paris, I took an upper apartment for a few days in one of the hotels of the Rue de Rivoli; my front windows looking into the garden of the Tuileries (where the principal difference between the nursemaids and the flowers seemed to be that the former were locomotive and the latter not) . . . -  <I>The Uncommercial Traveller -Travelling Abroad</I>";	
quotes[13]="After tea, we discussed a variety of topics before the fire; and Mrs. Micawber was good enough to sing us (in a small, thin, flat voice, which I remembered to have considered, when I first knew her, the very table-beer of acoustics) the favourite ballads of \"The Dashing White Sergeant\", and \"Little Tafflin\".   -  <I>David Copperfield</I>";	
quotes[14]="The two stand in the fast-thinning throng of victims, but they speak as if they were alone. Eye to eye, voice to voice, hand to hand, heart to heart, these two children of the Universal Mother, else so wide apart and differing, have come together on the dark highway, to repair home together, and to rest in her bosom. -  <I>A Tale of Two Cities</I>";	
quotes[15]="The expression of a man's face is commonly a help to his thoughts, or glossary on his speech; but the countenance of Newman Noggs, in his ordinary moods, was a problem which no stretch of ingenuity could solve.  -  <I>Nicholas Nickleby</I>";	
quotes[16]="It was a murky confusion - here and there blotted with a colour like the colour of the smoke from damp fuel - of flying clouds, tossed up into most remarkable heaps, suggesting greater heights in the clouds than there were depths below them to the bottom of the deepest hollows in the earth, through which the wild moon seemed to plunge headlong, as if, in a dread disturbance of the laws of nature, she had lost her way and were frightened. -  <I>David Copperfield</I>";	
quotes[17]="Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery. -  <I>David Copperfield</I>";	
quotes[18]="Captain Cuttle, like all mankind, little knew how much hope had survived within him under discouragement, until he felt its death-shock.  -  <I>Dombey and Son</I>";	
quotes[19]="These words will never see the light, if ever, until my heart is dust; until her bright spirit has returned to the regions of which, when imprisoned here, it surely retained some unusual glimpse of remembrance; until all the pulses that ever beat around us shall have long been quiet; until all the fruits of all the tiny victories and defeats achieved in our little breasts shall have withered away. -  <I>George Silverman's Explanation</I>";	
quotes[20]="\"Any man may be in good spirits and good temper when he's well dressed. There ain't much credit in that.\" -  <I>Martin Chuzzlewit</I>";	
quotes[21]="\"She dotes on poetry, sir. She adores it; I may say that her whole soul and mind are wound up, and entwined with it. She has produced some delightful pieces, herself, sir. You may have met with her `Ode to an Expiring Frog,' sir.\"  -  <I>The Pickwick Papers</I>";	
quotes[22]="\" . . .suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.\" -  <I>Great Expectations</I>";	
quotes[23]="\"There are strings,\" said Mr. Tappertit, flourishing his bread-and-cheese knife in the air, \"in the human heart that had better not be wibrated. . . . \" -  <I>Barnaby Rudge</I>";	
quotes[24]="\" . . . No, the office is one thing, and private life is another. When I go into the office, I leave the Castle behind me, and when I come into the Castle, I leave the office behind me. . . .\" -  <I>Great Expectations</I>";	
quotes[25]="Night, like a giant, fills the church, from pavement to roof, and holds dominion through the silent hours. Pale dawn again comes peeping through the windows: and, giving place to day, sees night withdraw into the vaults, and follows it, and drives it out, and hides among the dead.  -  <I>Dombey and Son</I>";	
quotes[26]="Miss Mills replied, on general principles, that the Cottage of content was better than the Palace of cold splendour, and that where love was, all was. -  <I>David Copperfield</I>";	
quotes[27]="It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. -  <I>Great Expectations</I>";	
quotes[28]="Cramped in all kinds of dim cupboards and hutches at Tellson's, the oldest of men carried on the business gravely.  When they took a young man into Tellson's London house, they hid him somewhere till he was old. They kept him in a dark place, like a cheese, until he had the full Tellson flavour and blue-mould upon him. Then only was he permitted to be seen, spectacularly poring over large books, and casting his breeches and gaiters into the general weight of the establishment. -  <I>A Tale of Two Cities</I>";	
quotes[29]="The nephew revenges himself for this, by holding his breath and terrifying his kinswoman with the dread belief that he has made up his mind to burst.  Regardless of whispers and shakes, he swells and becomes discoloured, and yet again swells and becomes discoloured, until the aunt can bear it no longer, but leads him out, with no visible neck, and with his eyes going before him like a prawn's.  -  <I>Travelling Abroad - City of London Churches</I>";	
quotes[30]="\"This reminds me, Godmother, to ask you a serious question.  You are as wise as wise can be (having been brought up by the fairies), and you can tell me this: Is it better to have had a good thing and lost it, or never to have had it?\" -  <I>Our Mutual Friend</I>";	
quotes[31]="The great commander, who seemed by expression of his visage to be always on the look-out for something in the extremest distance, and to have no ocular knowledge of anything within ten miles, made no reply whatever. -  <I>Dombey and Son</I>";
