Gone With The Wind
"Frankly Scarlett, I don't give a damn."

Rebecca
"'There was no moon. The sky above our
heads was inky black. But the sky on
the horizon was not dark at all.
It was shot with crimson, like a splash
of blood. And the ashes blew towards us with
the salt wind from the sea.'"




The Picture of Dorian Gray
"Dorian Gray shook his head and struck some
soft chords on the piano. "'Like the painting
of a sorrow,'" he repeated, "'a face without
a heart.'""

Tess of the D'urbervilles
"`Justice' was done, and the President of the Immortals,
in AEschylean phrase, had ended his sport with
Tess. And the d'Urberville knights and dames slept on
in their tombs unknowing. The two speechless gazers bent
themselves down to the earth, as if in prayer, and
remained thus a long time, absolutely motionless:
the flag continued to wave silently. As soon as they had strength
they arose, joined hands again, and went on. "




Sonnets of Shakespeare
"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date."




Hamlet
"To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? "

Romeo and Juliet
"It was the lark, the herald of the morn,
No nightingale: look, love, what envious streaks
Do lace the severing clouds in yonder east:
Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day
Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops.
I must be gone and live, or stay and die."




The Woman in White
"There, in the middle of the broad, bright high-road --
there, as if it had that moment sprung out of the earth of dropped from the heaven --
stood the figure of a solitary Woman,
dressed from head to foot in white garments."




Wuthering Heights
"Be with me always----take any form ---drive me mad---
only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!
O God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without
my life! I cannot live without my soul!"

Pride and Prejudice
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man
in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."




Jane Eyre
"Not a human being that ever lived could wish to be
loved better than I was loved; and him who thus
loved me I absolutely worshipped:
and I must renounce love and idol. One drear word
comprised my intolerable duty - "Depart!"
