New Year Quotes from Classic Novels

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.

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).

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 'Anna Karenina', Anna misses the freedom and passion she once had when she starts to feel trapped in her marriage. Lines like 'All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.' can be related to her situation. She misses the sense of self - discovery and love that she had before her marriage became a prison. Her affair with Vronsky was also partly due to her longing for something more, for that feeling of being truly alive that she was missing in her married life.

One of the most famous quotes from classic novels is 'All that glitters is not gold' from Shakespeare's works. This quote warns us not to be deceived by appearances. Just because something looks valuable on the surface doesn't mean it truly is. It has become a common saying in our daily life.

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 famous love quote from classic novels is 'Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same' from 'Wuthering Heights'. This quote beautifully captures the idea of a deep, almost spiritual connection between two lovers. It shows that their essences are so alike that they seem to be two parts of one whole.

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.
