It was the best of times, it was the worst of times

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times" is the iconic opening line of Charles Dickens' novel, "A Tale of Two Cities." This line sets the tone for the entire novel, which explores the stark contrast between the rich and the poor, the powerful and the powerless, and the chaos and order of the French Revolution.
