, They don’t ask much of you. They only want you to hate the things you love and to love the things you despise.
The great majority of us are required to live a life of constant duplicity.
The main misfortune, the root of all evil to come, was loss of the confidence in the value of one's own opinion.

Pasternak began as a poet; his 1917 collection My Sister, Life, published in Berlin in 1922, became a landmark in Russian verse. He spent years translating Goethe, Schiller, Calderón, and Shakespeare - versions that still hold Russian stages. Then came Doctor Zhivago, a novel spanning the 1905 Revolution to the Second World War, rejected by Soviet publishers and smuggled to Italy, where it appeared in 1957 as part of a CIA effort to embarrass the regime. The Nobel Prize followed in 1958. The Communist Party erupted, and Pasternak was compelled to decline. He died in 1960. His son accepted the prize in 1989, and by 2003 Doctor Zhivago was required reading in Russian schools.
