| He was a hero to his valet, who bullied him, and a terror to most of his relations, whom he bullied in turn. Only England could have produced him, and he always said that the country was going to the dogs. His principles were out of date, but there was a good deal to be said for his prejudices. | Oscar Wilde | The Picture of Dorian Gray |  | | "My daughter, there are times of moral danger when the hardest virtuous resolution to form is flight, and when the most heroic bravery is flight." | Charles Dickens | Our Mutual Friend | | | "Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show." | Charles Dickens | David Copperfield | | | "It's all very well to read about sorrows and imagine yourself living through them heroically, but it's not so nice when you really come to have them, is it?" | Lucy Maud Montgomery | Anne of Green Gables | | | "Nurture your mind with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes." | Benjamin Disraeli | Coningsby | | | The knowledge of your helplessness in any circumstances is so perfect that it begets a sense of irresponsibility, almost of security; and as you drowse upon the pallet of the sleeping car, and feel yourself hurled forward through the obscurity, you are almost thankful that you can do nothing, for it is upon this condition only that you can endure it; and some such condition as this, I suppose, accounts for many heroic facts in the world. | William Dean Howells | Their Wedding Journey | | | " . . . there are quiet victories and struggles, great sacrifices of self, and noble acts of heroism, in it - even in many of its apparent lightnesses and contradictions - not the less difficult to achieve, because they have no earthly chronicle or audience - done every day in nooks and corners, and in little households, and in men's and women's hearts - any one of which might reconcile the sternest man to such a world, and fill him with belief and hope in it . . ." | Charles Dickens | The Battle of Life | |
