The Odyssey / Homer

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.

The Twilight Zone / Rod Serling

Until then I had thought each book spoke of the things, human or divine, that lie outside books. Now I realized that not infrequently books speak of books: it is as if they spoke among themselves. In the light of this reflection, the library seemed all the more disturbing to me. It was then the place of a long, centuries-old murmuring, an imperceptible dialogue between one parchment and another, a living thing, a receptacle of powers not to be ruled by a human mind, a treasure of secrets emanated by many minds.

The Name of the Rose / Umberto Eco

The Impact of Point of View in Literature

The point of view from which a story is told can have a profound effect on how readers perceive and interpret the events and characters. First-person narrators can create a sense of intimacy and immediacy, while third-person omniscient narrators can offer a more objective and detached perspective. For example, in Toni Morrison's "Beloved," the shifting points of view allow readers to experience the trauma of slavery and its aftermath from multiple perspectives, including the haunted memories of the title character and the stoic resilience of her mother, Sethe. Similarly, the use of second-person point of view in Jay McInerney's "Bright Lights, Big City" creates a sense of intimacy and immersion in the world of 1980s New York City.
