  1. The most powerful literary quotes

  2. The very greatest novels pack sentences so prevailing that you stop reading, lower the book and simply live in the words for a moment. Here are the most powerful sentences in novels, curated by the Viewtale review team. Of Mice And Men Author: John Steinbeck Year: 1937 "Maybe ever’body in the whole damn world is scared of each other." Invisible Man Author: Ralph Ellison Year: 1952 “Life is to be lived, not controlled; and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat.” Wuthering Heights Author: Emily Brontë Year: 1847 "Terror made me cruel" L.A. Confidential Author: James Ellroy Year: 1990 “Some men get the world, some men get ex-hookers and a trip to Arizona. You’re in with the former, but my God I don’t envy the blood on your conscience.”

  3. On The Road Author: Jack Kerouac Year: 1957 “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.” 1984 Author: George Orwell Year: 1949 "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen." The Handmaid's Tale Author: Margaret Atwood Year: 1985 "We were the people who were not in the papers. We lived in the blank white spaces at the edges of print. It gave us more freedom. We lived in the gaps between the stories." The Time Machine Author: H.G. Wells Year: 1895 “It sounds plausible enough tonight, but wait until tomorrow. Wait for the common sense of the morning.”

  4. Jane Eyre Author: Charlotte Brontë Year: 1847 "Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs." The Road Author: Cormac McCarthy Year: 2006 “You forget what you want to remember, and you remember what you want to forget.” American Psycho Author: Bret Easton Ellis Year: 1991 "There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there." Don Quixote Author: Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra Year: 1605 “Finally, from so little sleeping and so much reading, his brain dried up and he went completely out of his mind.” For the very best in classical literature, head over to Viewtale today.
