What're some collected words from literature that you'll likely never forget?

“From the beginning men used god to justify the unjustifiable.” - The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie.

“I’d rather be a lightning rod than a seismograph.” - The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe.

“The books that the world calls immoral are the books that show the world its own shame.” - The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde.

I'll give you two, both from books themed around revenge, but opposite:

Ahab's last words from Moby Dick - From Hell's heart I stab at thee, for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee

The Count of Monte Cristo: All human wisdom is contained in these two words - Wait and Hope

If I were not tough I would not live anymore, if I were not sensitive I wouldn't deserve to live anymore.
