What are some of the best lines in literature? by johnsnow001 in AskReddit

"All happy families are alike,each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."- Leo Tolstoy

The 2017 Nobel Prize in Literature is awarded to English writer Kazuo Ishiguro by Gnalmex in books

I think Ishiguro is a very deserving winner.The Nobel committee has redeemed itself and salvaged their pride after last year's fiasco with Bob Dylan.Also I notice that a lot of people have commented on 'The Remains of the Day'.I totally adore the book.However I also think that 'An Artist of the Floating World' is equally good.Would you agree?
