I'll Just Leave This Right Here...

A collection of the last lines in books.
  • "He would be there all night, and he would be there when Jem waked up in the morning." To Kill a Mockingbird.
  • "I took her hand in mine, and we went out of the ruined place; and as the morning mists had risen long ago when I first left the forge, so the evening mists were rising now, and in  all the broad expanse of tranquil light they showed to me, I saw the shadow of no parting from her." Great Expectations.
  • "All was well." Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
  • "Darcy, as well as Elizabeth, really loved them; and they were both ever sensible of the warmest gratitude towards the persons who, by bringing her into Derbyshire, had been the means of uniting them." Pride and Prejudice.
  • "The End. Yours truly, Huck Finn." The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
  • "'Okay, baby, hold tight,' said Zaphod. 'We'll take in a quick bite at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe.'" The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
  • "Behind him, across vast distances of space and time, from the place he had left, he thought he heard music. But perhaps it was only an echo." The Giver.
  • "Then I lifted the hook and flung the window open. Spring came in." Locos.
  • "Turning him over one saw that he could not have suffered long; his face had an expression of calm, as though almost glad the end had come." All Quiet on the Western Front.
  • "P.S. Sorry I forgot to give you the mayonnaise." Trout Fishing in America.
    "'Thank goodness!' said Bilbo laughing, and handed him the tobacco-jar." The Hobbit.

  • "Lastly, she pictured to herself how this same little sister of hers would, in the after-time, be herself a grown woman; and how she would keep, through all her riper years, the simple and loving heart of her childhood; and how she would gather about her other little children, and make their eyes bright and eager with many a strange tale, perhaps even with the dream of Wonderland of long ago; and how she would feel with all their simple sorrows, and find a pleasure in all their simple joys, remembering her own child-life, and the happy summer days." Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

          "She grins wide then. It's like the sky can't take anymore and it explodes, all particles and partner-particles and perhapsatrons, something new being born--a whole new universe of yes and no and why the hell? Sparks fly out past, a zooming show of charged light that catches Dulcie's face in midlaugh.

          And there's nothing to say but wow. Wow. The same word backward and forward.
Dulcie sighs in happiness. 'That's always my favorite part.'
And I can see why." Going Bovine.
