Sure. In 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen, 'It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.' This is a very well - known and somewhat satirical take on the social norms of the time regarding marriage and wealth.
Another one is from 'The Catcher in the Rye' by J.D. Salinger, 'I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I'd do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all.' This quote shows Holden's complex view of protecting the innocence of others.
In 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Bronte, 'He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.' This quote shows a deep connection between two characters that goes beyond the physical.
Sure. In Africa, there's the story of the cheetah. It's the fastest land animal and can accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just a few seconds. In Australia, the platypus is a very unique animal. It's a mammal that lays eggs, has a duck - like bill, and webbed feet. In South America, the sloth is known for its slow - moving lifestyle. It moves so slowly that algae can grow on its fur, which actually helps it blend in with the trees.
Sure. In 'The Catcher in the Rye', Holden Caulfield says, 'I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I'd do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all.' This shows his desperate attempt to preserve innocence in a world he sees as corrupt, and it has an underlying sadness.
Sure. In 'Moby - Dick', Herman Melville wrote, 'The ocean, vast and unending, was a liquid plain of blue - black, heaving and swelling like a living thing.'
One more funny quote is 'He looked at her like she was the last piece of chocolate in the box, and she wasn't sure if she should be flattered or run for the hills.' This quote is humorous as it compares the way a man looks at a woman to the way one might look at a delicious but potentially indulgent piece of chocolate. It also shows the woman's mixed feelings about the attention, which is a relatable and comical situation in romance.
A quote from 'Pride and Prejudice': 'I cannot fix on the hour, or the spot, or the look, or the words, which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew that I had begun.' This shows the unexpected and often indescribable nature of falling in love, which is really heart - warming.
Sure. In Japanese culture, there's a saying '君が好きだと叫びたい' which roughly means 'I want to shout that I like you'. A Japanese love story could be that of Hachiko, the loyal dog who waited for his owner every day at the station. His loyalty can be seen as a form of love. It shows that love can be expressed through unwavering dedication.
Another funny quote could be 'Cinderella's mice friends were probably the best party planners. I can just imagine them whispering, 'Hey, let's make this the best ball ever for Cinderella, even if we have to use cheese as decor!'. It adds a bit of humor to the idea of the mice helping Cinderella and their resourcefulness in an amusing way. They are small but mighty in the story and this quote emphasizes their role in a comical fashion.
Sure. 'I triple - dog - dare you!' is a great one. It adds an element of bravado and childish competitiveness that is often seen during Christmas break when kids are together and trying to outdo each other in various challenges. It's a simple yet effective funny quote.
Sure. In 'Outlander' by Diana Gabaldon, 'I feel as though all time that's past and all that's to come is but the twinkling of an eye to you. You are...timeless, you see all times at once.' This line has a very romantic and somewhat mystical feel to it. It shows the unique perception of the beloved.
