Quote

I was brought up on Dickens. I remember reading 'Bleak House' but, coming back to it, I didn't remember much about it apart from a few characters.

I had a kind of Dickensian childhood.

Dickens belongs to the English people.

I was enamored with Charles Dickens as a kid, and his names blew me away.

I love Dickens. I love the way he sets a scene.

I love Dickens because it makes me chuckle to myself so. He has taken me to another world and out of so many earthly miseries.

Dickens is a lover of human beings; a relisher of human beings.

The whole world knows Dickens, his London and his characters.

I'm not a Dickens guy. In grad school I had to take at least one course on the Victorians, so I took The Later Dickens, because that was what there was.

Taking the humour out of Dickens, it's not Dickens any more.
