This quote is from Charles Dickens' "A Tale of Two Cities." It refers to sacrificing oneself for the greater good, as the character Sydney Carton does at the end of the novel. It reflects themes of redemption, selflessness, and the possibility of personal transformation.
That's A Tale of Two Cities, in which Sydney Carton, a rather dissipated barrister, trades places on the guillotine with Charles Darnay, the husband of Lucie Manette, the woman Carton loves. The last sentence of the book and one of the most quoted lines in literature is: 'It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known.'
Sidney Carton's last words in "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens were, "It is a far, far better thing that I do than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known." He utters these words before sacrificing himself for Charles Darnay.
Charles Dickens did not go to jail. He faced financial difficulties when his father was sent to debtor's prison, and Dickens himself had to work in a factory at a young age. These experiences influenced his writing and social commentary, but he himself never served time in jail.
Carton helps to save Darnay's life by taking his place during the trial in "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens. Carton famously declares, "It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done." This act of selflessness demonstrates Carton's deep love for Lucie Manette, whom Darnay eventually marries.
