Bring the Columns Down
“
Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before—more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle."
— Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens (via bookreadingbookworm)

(via invioletitrust)

# dickens  # great expectations  # books  # i once almost wrote a paper on tears in Great Expectations  # it's a really interesting motif
