Favorite book quotes

We've had music and movie quotes, how about books?

My all time favorite book is "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte.

"heaven did not seem to be my home; and I broke my heart with weeping to come back to earth; and the angels were so angry that they flung me out..."

cptjohnstone--that's a purported exchange between WLSC and Lady Astor, so it's not actually a book quote (although funny as hell, and profound in its own way.)

My own is from Vonnegut's Slaughter-House 5: "So it goes." Of course, what could be more trite, but used in context, with the proper tone of . . . .(you fill in the blank) and it gains depth.
"who controles the past, controles the future, who controles the present, controles the past".
