Sydney Carton

"I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live."

"I see the time-piece and the gaoler fading from my gaze like all things which the eyes take in at the last."

"I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss, and, in their struggles to be truly free, in their triumphs and defeats, through long, long years to come, I see the evil of this time and of the previous time of which this is the natural birth, gradually making expiation for itself and wearing out."

"There is nothing in this world so irresistible to a man as a woman's tears."

"I see the lives for which I lay down my life, peaceful, useful, prosperous and happy."

"I wish you to know that you have been the last dream of my soul."

"It is enough that you felt something of the agitation that I felt."

"You pierce my heart, Miss Manette, with your goodness."

"My weakness has always been that I am a disappointed drudge."

"I have never been what you wish me to be."

"Her beauty was but the reflection of her goodness."

"I see myself in you, though I am unworthy."

"I would give my life for one word from her lips."

"I go to my fate with a light heart."

"A bench has been my kingdom and learning my crown."

"I have been recalled to a better life than I deserve."

"What I have given, I cannot take back, though I wished it."

"I have found a purpose in my final hours."

"I see that child who lay upon your bosom and who bore your name"

"It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done"

"I wish you to know that you have been the last dream of my soul"

"Better that these stone faces should frown upon my rest than the living should avenge"

"The echoes of your words ring in my mind like a bell that will not stop"

"It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known"

"I see the lives for which I lay down my life, peaceful, useful, prosperous and happy"

"I care for no man on earth, and no man on earth cares for me"

"You pierce my soul. I feel as though you know me intimately"

"In my solitude I find my strength"

"Hope and despair are neighbors in the soul"
