The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky
5.0

"he told me that he was entirely convinced I was a complete child myself, a real child, that is, and that only in my face and figure I was a grown-up person, but as far as my development, my soul, my character and perhaps even my intelligence, I was not an adult, and would never be one even if I had lived to be sixty."
Part 1, Chapter 6, p 76
"'Have no fear! Though I take your cross, I'm not going to knife you for your watch!' He muttered to himself indistinctly, and suddenly laughed in a strange way. But then his whole face changed; he turned terribly pale, his lips trembled, his eyes blazed. He raised his arms, embraced the prince warmly, and said in a breathless voice: 'Well, take her, then, since it's fated to be! She's yours! I'm letting you have her. Remember Rogozhin!'"
Part 2, Chapter 4, p 233

"the majority of the guests, despite their imposing appearance, consisted of rather empty people, who in their self-satisfaction were themselves unaware that much of their superiority was only a fine surface for which they were not responsible, having received it unwittingly and through inheritance."
Part 4, Chapter 6, p 557
