"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." A classic. I like classics | |||
"In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart" This is also one of my absolute favourites. | |||

"In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart" the worst thing about this entry is that she talks about the approaching thunder coming.  | |||

"A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely." Ooh that's Roald Dahl isn't it? | |||

Ooh that's Roald Dahl isn't it?" Yes, its from The Twits, which I absolutely Loved, as a child. Then got reacquainted with it reading it to my child. It stands the test of time xx | |||

"Marley was dead to begin with .there is no doubt whatever about that." Strong agree on this one. I’ve seen film/tv adaptations that leave this opening line out - I know they can’t have everything, but this is so clever- “dead to begin with” - and sets the whole thing up. | |||
| |||
"A few of the above are opening lines, and they can pack a memorable punch. A favourite of mine is Brighton Rock: “Hale knew, before he had been in Brighton three hours that they meant to murder him.” Simple, direct, but sets the tone to perfection." If we're talking opening lines... "The Man in Black fled across the desert and The Gunslinger followed..." | |||
"I'm going to cheat and do 3 He broke up like glass against Tom's hard malice More sinned against than sinning She walks in beauty like the night Of cloudless climes and starry nights" Don’t know the first two but the last one is Byron. If poetry is allowed I’ll pick another Byron first line: “I had a dream that was not all a dream”. | |||

"“Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else.” -1984,George Orwell" “Freedom is the freedom to say tha two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.” | |||
"I'm going to cheat and do 3 He broke up like glass against Tom's hard malice More sinned against than sinning She walks in beauty like the night Of cloudless climes and starry nights Don’t know the first two but the last one is Byron. If poetry is allowed I’ll pick another Byron first line: “I had a dream that was not all a dream”." The Great Gatsby and King Lear so a play I did say I cheated! | |||

"I could murder a curry" HAVE YOU EVER BITTEN A RED HOT ICE CUBE? | |||
"Love how everyone is quoting something from the Literary Canon. Mine is far less cultured
In the light of the moon a little egg lay on a leaf....."Winner. | |||
"I don’t get these stupid ‘rent free’ expressions!!" Then perhaps don't join the thread? | |||

Your cheating took us in a very nice direction.;-) | |||
"I don’t get these stupid ‘rent free’ expressions!!" Don't you get snippets of things running through your head? Maybe you don't read? | |||
| |||
"I don’t get these stupid ‘rent free’ expressions!!" What book is that? | |||
"I’ll go first: They were careless people, Tom and Daisy. They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money our vast carelessness. " The Great Gatsby? | |||
| |||

"I’ll go first: They were careless people, Tom and Daisy. They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money our vast carelessness. The Great Gatsby? " The goat! | |||
