Dickens quotation in 2012 Blockbuster ("The Dark Knight Rises" screenplay): TALE OF TWO CITIES

Reference noted at Internet Movie DataBase dot-com (www.imdb.com/ )

Character speaking is "Jim Gordon" (portrayed by Gary Oldman)

[reading from the book "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens] I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss. I see the lives for which I lay down my life, peaceful, useful, prosperous and happy. I see that I hold a sanctuary in their hearts, and in the hearts of their descendants, generations hence. 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.
