11. As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect.
12. It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. 13. Intelligent life on a planet comes of age when it first works out the reason for its own existence. If superior creatures from space ever visit earth, the first question they will ask, in order to assess the level of our civilization, is: "Have they discovered evolution yet?" 14. It was a pleasure to burn. 15. Last night I dreamed I went to Manderley again. 16. It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn't know what I was doing in New York. |

1. He - for there could be no doubt of his sex. though the fashion of the time did something to disguise it - was in the act of slicing at the head of a Moor which swung from the rafters. 2. Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way 3. In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since. 4. Even in high summer, Tintagel was a haunted place; Igraine, Lady of Duke Gorlois, looked out over the sea from the headland. 5.The boy with fair hair lowered himself down the last few feet of rock and began to pick his way towards the lagoon 6.The sweat wis lashing oafay Sick Boy; he is trembling. 7. In the week before their departure to Arrakis, when all the final scurrying about had reached a nearly unbearable frenzy, an old crone came to visit the mother of the boy, Paul. 8. The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. 9. "The success of a marriage invariably depends on the woman," Mrs. Greenway said. 10. I went back to the Devon School not long ago, and found it looking oddly newer than when I was a student there fifteen years before I'm going to lunch- NO GOOGLING! I'll smell it on you. |

17. I have no reason not to answer the door so I answer the door.
18. It is a little remarkable, that--though disinclined to talk overmuch of myself and my affairs at the fireside, and to my personal friends--an autobiographical impulse should twice in my life have taken possession of me, in addressing the public. 19. My true name is so well known in the records, or registers at Newgate, and in the Old-Baily, and there are some things of such consequence still depending there, relating to my particular conduct, that it is not expected I should set my name, or the account of my family to this work; perhaps, after my death it may be better known, at present it would not be proper, no, not tho' a general pardon should be issued, even without exceptions and reserve of persons or crimes. 20. Late in the afternoon of a chilly day in February, two gentlemen were sitting alone over their wine, in a well-furnished dining parlor, in the town of P-------, in Kentucky. There were no servants present, and the gentlemen, with chairs closely approaching, seemed to be dicussing some subject with great earnestness. 21. I was born a slave; but I never knew it till six years of happy childhood had passed away.

Shag's #3 is Gatsby. And I think I recognize 8, but I'll be damned if I can think of it right now.

This is an easy one...
"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, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only." |
