Eva asked this question about Great Expectations:
Can anyone tell me where this quote is :"“The broken heart. You think you will die, but you just keep living, day after day after terrible day.”" I read it on various platforms and it's attributed to Charles Dickens, but I've read the entire book and even did a ctrl-f on an epub version and it's nowhere to be found. Is it really in the book? And if not, how come everybody quotes it and attributes it to Miss Havisham?
Tom This quote does not appear in “Great Expectations” as so many memes and threads claim.

Tom It doesn’t appear in “David Copperfield” either.
