Fridge / A Tale of Two Cities

Fridge Brilliance

• The opening lines: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity..." Dickens was describing France on the verge of Revolution, but think about it enough and realize every period in human history is encapsulated by this statement. Even now. Dickens lampshades as much at the end of the paragraph.
