**1984**
===**A Hero of Our Time 1) "I'll hazard my life, even my honor, twenty times, but I will not sell my freedom."  2) "This is how the hero of our time must be. He will be characterized either by decisive inaction, or else by futile activity." 3) "My whole life has been nothing but a series of dismal, unsuccessful attempts to go against heart or reason" 4) "The turmoil of life has left me with a few ideas, but no feelings"  5) "For a long time now I've lived by intellect, not feeling."  6) "What if it does? If I die, I die. It will be small loss to the world, and I’ve had about enough of it myself." 7) "What is happiness but gratified pride? If I thought myself better and more powerful than everyone else in the world, I should be happy." 8) "Of two friends, one is always the slave of the other, though often neither will admit it. I can never be a slave, and to command in these circumstances is too exacting. For you have to pretend at the same time." 9) "I make fun of everything, feelings especially, and this is beginning to alarm her." 10) "Passions are merely ideas in their initial stage. They are the property of youth, and anyone who expects to feel their thrill throughout his life is a fool." **===
