Charles Dickens Quote
You wish to be anonymous? I wish to be left alone, said Scrooge. Since you ask me what I wish, gentlemen, that is my answer. I don't make merry myself at Christmas and I can't afford to make idle people merry. I help to support the establishments I have mentioned--they cost enough; and those who are badly off must go there. Many can't go there; and many would rather die. If they would rather die, said Scrooge, they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.
