Famous repertoire

So many classics have given us a galaxy of unforgettable words. These are my favourites:

JULIUS CAESAR
  by SHAKESPEARE.

"Et tu, Brute! Then fall Caesar."
 
    --- Julius Caesar to Brutus

MACBETH
  by SHAKESPEARE

"Not all the perfumes of Arabia can sweeten these little hands!"

   --- Lady Macbeth during sleepwalk

THE KITE RUNNER
   by KHALED HOSSIENI

"For you a thousand times over."
  
--- primarily Hassan to Aamir

LORD OF THE RINGS
  by TOILKEN

"Not all those who live are worthy of life. And neither all the dead deserved to die."

   --- Gandalf to Frodo.

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS
   by J.K. ROWLING

"Words are the most powerful magic known to man. They can either make or mar lives."

--- Dumbledore to Harry

Top 5: Novels II

Continued from previous post.

Note: This is not an official list. Only my favourite English classic novels I love to read.

SHERLOCK HOLMES.
A magnum opus series of detective cases and drama by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, it is a class above the rest. The characters, the tension, the high end suspense and warm emotions make this a must in every collection.

LORD OF THE RINGS.
Superior in drama, plot, characters and narration, this trilogy by Toilken, is an experience, not just a read. Set way into the future, it is so full of notions that disturb and delight us even today. I would give anything to own a copy of it.
