I've always been partial to
"Do ptake some ptarmigan."--James Joyce, Ulysses John
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.--Yeats |

Another Joyce with a wonderful allusion to Macbeth:
"a burning would come to dance inane..." --J. Joyce, Ulysses But my favorite has to be, just because it sounds so great in the mouth: "All shaking thunder strike flat the thick rotundity of the earth." --Lear, W.Shakespeare. |

"I am haunted by waters." Each of the several sentences which precede it are also things of pure beauty. But the one above actually gives me the shivers. If I let it sink in, I can actually get teary-eyed. |

How about this one:
"The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature." |
