Hi, Caius and list--

I *love* famous openings.  A character's first line says so much about 
them...

I can't put my finger on the books right now.  This is all I can remember 
off the top of my head; hopefully someone can pick up where I leave off.  
Besides, it's CHEATING to look in the books.  Much more fun to see how much 
you remember off the top of your head.

(BTW, I'm really looking forward to the kick-off of Two Weeks of Harry.  
There's a lot I have to say... and I've been waiting for this very 
opportunity to say it.  ;-))

Wow--I have guesses on more than a dozen of the above, but without the books 
in hand, I can't be sure!  As for the one-worders, I have no clue.  And I 
have no idea what Harry said first... isn't that a shame?

I suppose I just lost, but someone had to go first, right?

Remember, no looking in the books... we're on the honor system here. :-)

"Those who have ceased to love
Have not ceased to need,
Those who have ceased to care
Have not ceased to bleed;
Do not weigh the words that
Never ask, the minds that never
Seek, nor mark the averted faces,
But see the heart."

--Jean Toomer, Harlem Renaissance poet (c. 1947)
