Re: What are some of your the favorite lines in literature?

So, so many. A few dozen from Fugitive Pieces alone.

But I'll pick the very simple final line of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close: "We would have been safe." In doesn't mean much out of context, but in context it cuts to the core of what it is to experience loss and grief in a way few lines do.

And okay, it's the opposite of original, but there's a reason "Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt" has survived so long and become so widely known that it's basically become a meme. It's mostly used in a jokey way these days (which I doubt Vonnegut would have minded at all), but I think in its original context, its a line that captures a longing so widely and deeply felt you could almost consider it a quintessential human longing. Actually, this and the Incredibly Close line have that in common I think.
