Quote ~ It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the epoch of wisdom, it was the epoch of foolishness; it was the epoch of faith, 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 going straight to heaven; we were going straight to hell. Ling Meng traveled to such an era.
