Quotation from: Great Expectations

Written by: Charles Dickens


"You must know," said Estella, condescending to me as a brilliant
and beautiful woman might, "that I have no heart - if that has
anything to do with my memory."


I got through some jargon to the effect that I took the liberty of
doubting that. That I knew better. That there could be no such
beauty without it.


"Oh! I have a heart to be stabbed in or shot in, I have no doubt,"
said Estella, "and, of course, if it ceased to beat I should cease
to be. But you know what I mean. I have no softness there, no -
sympathy - sentiment - nonsense."
