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.
One quote could be 'Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery.' It shows how the concept of 'happiness' in the story is a constructed and rather strange thing, different from what we might traditionally consider real happiness. It reflects on the nature of the society in 'Brave New World' where people are conditioned to accept a certain version of happiness that might not be truly fulfilling at a deeper level.
Quotes from novels can enhance our writing by adding depth.

One of the most famous quotes from Stephen King's 'The Shining' is 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.' It's a simple yet haunting line that reflects the descent into madness of the main character, Jack Torrance.
One great quote from 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee is 'You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.' This quote can be used on a poster to promote empathy.
