Lines in a book

Sometimes when I read, there are lines that stand out more than others. Lines the author really has nailed. Sometimes it's the content I like, sometimes the flow of the words, sometimes what the words implies, what memories they evoke etc.

I came upon one of these lines when reading The Girls of Slender Means by Muriel Sparks.

"anecdotes which needed an audience hilariously drunken, either with alcohol or extreme youth, to give them point” (103).

What lines from a book are your favourites?
