Which book do you think has the best opening line?

The Great Gatsby.

In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since. ‘Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,’ he told me, ‘just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.’

It also has a great ending line.

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
