Some curious quotes in classic novels

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 '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.

One interesting 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 stage for the whole story which is centered around marriage and social status in the 19th - century English society.

One 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 shows the social expectations of the time in a somewhat ironic way, inspiring us to question the motives behind social norms.

One famous love quote from 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen is 'You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.' It beautifully shows the deep and passionate love that Mr. Darcy has for Elizabeth.

From 'Moby - Dick', 'Call me Ishmael.' is a very well - known quote. It's simple yet it draws the reader in immediately. In 'Jane Eyre', 'I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.' This quote shows the strong - willed nature of Jane Eyre. Another one from 'Wuthering Heights' is 'He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.' which expresses a deep and complex relationship between the characters.

In 'Anna Karenina' by Leo Tolstoy, there are mentions of farming life. 'Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.' While not directly about farming, it gives context to the rural and farming families in the story. The novel does touch on the economic and social aspects of farming life, such as the management of estates and the relationship between landowners and peasants.

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).

Another one is from 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Bronte. Heathcliff says, 'I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!' about Catherine. It shows the extreme dependence and passionate love he has for her, as if she is an essential part of his being.
