Famous Lines From Famous Books

"I write this sitting in the kitchen sink"
This line is from the novel: I Capture the Castle,
which was published in the year 1948 by the author: Dodie Smith who lived from 1896to 1990. This author is known for other works, including: The Town in Bloom, and A Tale of Two Families.


Summary of I Capture the Castle according to Reading Group Guide:

I Capture the Castle tells the story of seventeen-year-old Cassandra and her family, who live in not-so-genteel poverty in a ramshackle English castle. Here she strives, over six turbulent months, to hone her writing skills. She fills three notebooks with sharply funny yet poignant entries. Her journals candidly chronicle the great changes that take place within the old castle’s walls, and her own first descent into love. By the time she pens her final entry, she has “captured the castle”--and the heart of the reader--in one of literature’s most enchanting entertainments.






" Tomorrow, I'll think of some way to get him back. After all, tomorrow is another day."

This line is from the novel Gone With the Wind, which was published in the year 1936 by the author Margaret Mitchell who lived from 1900 to 1949. This author is also known for other works, including: Lost Laysen  and Jilly and Sneeze

Summary of Gone with the Wind according to Barnes and Noble:
 Widely considered The Great American Novel, and often remembered for its epic film version, Gone With the Wind explores the depth of human passions with an intensity as bold as its setting in the red hills of Georgia. A superb piece of storytelling, it vividly depicts the drama of the Civil War and Reconstruction.
