Quotes 

• Sydney Carton : My poor child. It isn't understanding we need now. It's courage.

  Seamstress : You're going to die in his place. Why?

  Sydney Carton : He is my friend.

  Seamstress : You're so brave... When we go to the guillotine, will you let me hold your hand? That might give me courage, too.

  Sydney Carton : Yes. I'll hold it to the last.

  Seamstress : To the last.

• Sydney Carton : Keep your eyes on me. Mind nothing else.

  Seamstress : I can bear it so long as I'm near you.

• Seamstress : You're not afraid. The others are only pretending, but you... it's almost as if you welcomed it.

  Sydney Carton : Perhaps I do. Perhaps in death, I receive something I never had in life - I hold a sanctuary in the hearts of those I care for.
