Quote context

[...]

- My child, I never thought I should live to know such happiness.

- An occasional visitor to their house in Soho-square was Sidney Carton.

- He was not improved in habits, or in looks, or in manner. His air of debauchery was as if, well, even more pronounced.

- And it seemed to me that he was behaving with even less delicacy than usual when he presented himself one afternoon, only a few days before Lucy's marriage, and asked to see Miss Manette alone.

- He was shown upstairs.

- Miss Manette, will you hear me?

- Yes, Mr. Carton.

- Miss Manette,

- I know very well that you can have no tenderness for me. I ask for none. I'm even thankful that it cannot be.

- Without it, is there nothing I can do for you, Mr. Carton?

- All you can ever do for me is done. I wish you to know that you've been the last dream of my soul.

Top rated lines from this movie

A dream, all a dream, that ends in nothing, and leaves the sleeper where he lay down, but I wish you to know that you inspired it.
Don't be afraid. I'll never refer to this again, only in the hour of my death I shall hold sacred this one good remembrance that my last avowal of myself was made to you, and that my name and faults, and miseries were gently carried in your heart.
For you and for any dear to you, I would do anything. Remember sometimes. Remember that there is a man who would give his life to keep a life you love beside you.
All day, tumbrils go through the streets, feeding the guillotine, and at its foot, splashed with blood, sit the women knitting late into the night, counting dropping heads.
I neither want any thanks or merit any. It was nothing to do in the first place, and I don't know why I did it in the second.
