it was the best of times...

...it was the worst of times.  a tale of two cities - interesting read.  i wouldn't categorize it under favorites, but i would categorize it as the other extreme either.  at times, it was difficult to continue and fully comprehend.  i have little else to say about it, so here are a few quotes...

"you were always somewhere, and i was always nowhere." {a tale of two cities, charles dickens}

"sadly, sadly, the sun rose; it rose upon no sadder sight than the man of good abilities and good emotions, incapable of their directed exercise, incapable of his own help and his own happiness, sensible of the blight on him, and resigning himself to let it eat him away."  {a tale of two cities, charles dickens}

"troubled as the future was, it was the unknown future, and in its obscurity there was ignorant hope." {a tale of two cities, charles dickens}

"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 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."  {a tale of two cities, charles dickens}
