Consider 'Jane Eyre'. 'I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will. And as the new year comes, I shall exercise that will more freely.' This shows the spirit of the new year as a time to assert one's independence and make positive changes, just as Jane Eyre was determined to live life on her own terms.
From 'The Catcher in the Rye', Holden Caulfield might say something like 'I hope the new year doesn't have so many phonies.' It's a simple yet characteristic thought that reflects a certain cynicism but also a hope for a better time.
In 'Moby - Dick', 'Call me Ishmael. As the new year dawns, I set sail on this journey of life, not knowing what the vast ocean of time will bring.' This quote ties the idea of starting a new year to the start of a great adventure, much like Ishmael's journey on the Pequod.
One quote could be from 'Great Expectations' by Charles Dickens. 'I'll be as merry as I can, Pip, on this day of all days!' It gives a sense of trying to be positive during the New Year.
Here are a few: 'New year, new adventures, and lots of comic relief!'
From '1984' by George Orwell, 'Big Brother is watching you.' This simple yet powerful quote encapsulates the overarching theme of a totalitarian regime and constant surveillance in the dystopian world of the novel. It has become a well - known phrase symbolizing a lack of privacy.
One famous quote is from '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 quote sets the tone for the story's exploration of marriage and social class in 19th - century England.
In 'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley, Victor Frankenstein's curiosity is what leads him to create the monster. His quote about his thirst for knowledge and his desire to explore the boundaries of life and death is a strong example of how curiosity can drive a character in a novel. His excessive curiosity, however, has disastrous consequences as the monster he creates brings chaos and destruction.
In 'Jane Eyre', there are some passages that could be associated with sunsets. For example, when Jane is at Thornfield and the changing of the day to night can be seen as a form of sunset - like transition. 'The afternoon advanced, while I thus wandered about like a lost and starving dog. At length I could bear hunger no longer, and turned back. I found the front door again, and, slipping and falling several times in the snow, got at last within.' Here, as the afternoon progresses towards evening, there is a sense of a changing, almost fading light and situation, much like a sunset can represent change and a coming of something new (in this case, Jane's situation at Thornfield is about to change).
One could be 'Let's embrace the new year with laughter and joy!' It emphasizes the positive aspects of the new year. Also, 'The new year brings new adventures - let's go!' which is full of excitement and anticipation.
In 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee, there's the quote 'You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.' It emphasizes empathy, which is a central theme in the novel as Scout learns about the unjust treatment of others in her community.
In 'Pride and Prejudice', there are elements of new beginnings. Elizabeth Bennet's new understanding of Mr. Darcy can be seen as a new beginning for their relationship. A quote that somewhat relates could be when she realizes her misjudgment, 'Till this moment, I never knew myself.' This represents a new start in her self - awareness which impacts their relationship anew.
Some common ones are like 'Wishing you a year filled with joy and cartoons!' or 'Let's welcome the new year with colorful cartoons and big smiles!'
