We have had threads on the best songs, and, the worst lines, so, how about a thread on best lines?
To start, how about Rick Fieldings Margins of my neighborhood,Charlie in the library baffled by the printed word, stroking the books and saying "Let me in" that really grabs me. Another line..Bob Coltmans rewrite of Patrick Spense.. the waves rolled up like mountain tops, and the wind like a thing in pain.. Utah Phillips,.."then I played up the booze and the holes in the shoes of a man whose life is a cage, and all the things done to make a man run, the hard luck and the failures of age.. .. I stopped with a crash, we looked into the ash, helpless with longing and rage..
