About This Quote
This quote by Charles Dickens is a statement that illustrates the consequences of self-destruction. When you are completely consumed by negative emotions, this is what happens to you. You are almost completely consumed by your own feelings and forget about the feelings of others. Negative emotions render you unable to function and kill any happiness that may have been inside you.
