The Footsteps Die Out Forever

Quotes from the last chapter of Tale of Two Cities:

"But for you, dear stranger, I should not be so composed, for I am naturally a poor little thing, faint of heart; nor should I have been able to raise my thoughts to Him who was put to death, that we might have hope and comfort here to-day."

-"Do you think that it will seem long to me, while I wait for her in the better land where I trust both you and I will be mercifully sheltered?
- "It cannot be, my child; there is no Time there, and no trouble there."

"I am the Resurrection and the Life, saith the Lord: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die."

I love Charles Dickens.You really can't read these quotes and understand how gut-wrenching they are without reading the whole book. So... You should do that. It's a pretty quick read...? Depends on how you define quick.
