Some sentences never leave us.
They wait quietly… and return when we least expect them.
This thread is for those unforgettable lines from books — the ones that stayed, healed, haunted, or changed you in a small, silent way.
I know many of you here are passionate book lovers, reading stories across different genres and worlds.
Maybe you read it years ago.
Maybe you don’t even remember the whole story.
But that one line… it still knows your heart.
Because words don’t fade when they touch something real inside us.
They become a part of who we are.
Here are a few lines I’ve gathered from friends and different places — do share the one line from a book that still echoes in your heart.
---There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.
— I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
"How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is, to have a thankless child!"
King Lear
If you really want something,the whole universe conspire to help you.The Alchemist...
If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything- Mark Twain
“Travel and tell no one, live a true love story and tell no one, live happily and tell no one, people ruin beautiful things.”
- Khalil Gibran
When fate summons, monarchs must obey-- Mac Flecknoe
There are two tragedies in life—not getting what you want, and getting it.
Be careful what you wish for
Sometimes even to swallow a spoon of food is blessing (ben Carson "two gifted hands").
Foolishness of the fool sharpens the wisdom of the wise
‘Sometimes people are beautiful. Not in looks. Not in what they say. Just in what they are.’… from The Book Thief.
