GreyPilgrim he/him Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 This post is to supplement my topic in General Brandon Discussion about our favorite of Brandon’s opening/closing lines. Here you can post any of your favorite opening/closing lines of any book you’ve read! I encourage you to vote in the poll on the Brandon Book forum too. Same rules apply as in the other topic: Opening/closing line can be disputed to some degree for some books. Is the first line of a prologue the first line of the book? What if there is an epigraph? So just choose your favorites and share them. Please spoiler tag last lines, out of respect for those such as myself who would rather wait until the whole book is read to know the last line.
Matrim Bloody Cauthon he/him Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose in the Mountains of Mist. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning. This wind blew southward, through knotted forests, over shimmering plains and toward lands unexplored. This wind was no the ending. There are no endings, and never will be endings, to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was an ending. 3
GreyPilgrim he/him Posted June 20, 2014 Author Posted June 20, 2014 Wow. I had forgotten I even made this thread. I think this might be one of the longest times between posting and reply ever. WoT definitely has some great opening and closing lines. I overall liked the books in the series that ended in a sort of narration about the effects of the climax of the novel. That occurs in books 2, 6, 7, 8, and 9 IIRC.
