——It was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way.
- It was the age of wisdom, it was the age of ignorance; it was the age of faith, it was the age of doubt; it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness; it was the age of hope, it was the age of despair; we were all heading straight for heaven, and we were all heading in the opposite direction.
