<p>Johnny Got His Gun. I hate that book. Here's an easy one: </p>

<p>* Be that as it may, I could not help thinking, as I looked at the works of Shakespeare on the shelf, that the bishop was right at least in this; it would have been impossible, completely and entirely, for any woman to have written the plays of Shakespeare in the age of Shakespeare. Let me imagine, since the facts are so hard to come by, what would have happened had Shakespeare had a wonderfully gifted sister, called Judith, let us say...*</p>

<p>A Room of One's Own. Here's a hard one::</p>

<p>"God says the Africans are the tribes of Ham."</p>

<p>"What a beautiful morning for watchmaking!"</p>

<p>Google somehow led me to this thread, and I cannot believe no one could spot #97 immediately! MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING! C’mon, guys!</p>

<p>From a lovely book, easy to spot, in my opinion: </p>

<p>“Do you think I am an automaton? — a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! — I have as much soul as you — and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet, equal — as we are!”</p>

<p>Jane Eyre! (love, no matter what my Beowulf-worshipping Lit teacher may say about it</p>

<p>From my critical paper book;
“Or again, it might be a stern EI Greco horizon, pregnant with inky rain, and a passing glimpse of some mummy-necked farmer, and all around alternating strips of quick-silverish water and harsh green corn, the whole arrangement opening like a fan, somewhere in Kansas.”</p>

<p>Pretty hard, but personally my favorite quote from the book.</p>
