Memorable Last Lines

The Incredible Shrinking Man by Richard Matheson "To a man, zero inches mean nothing. Zero meant nothing. But to nature there was no zero ... He would never disappear because there was no point of non-existence in the universe. There was food to be found, water, clothing, shelter. And, most important, life. Who knew? ... Scott Carey ran into his new world, searching."

Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson "What is this place?" Maya cried. "This is home," Hiroko said. "This is where we start again."

Magician by Raymond E. Feist "With a deep cry of despair, Amos said, "Ah, Arutha, you take all the fun out of life!"

Nightfall by Isaac Asimov "The long night had come again."

The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien "Well, I'm back," he said.

The Nine Billion Names of God by Arthur C. Clarke "One by one, without any fuss, the stars were going out."

The High King by Lloyd Alexander "And in the end, only the bards knew whether they were true or a legend."

A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny "Jack and Jill went down the hill. Gray and I ran after."

So Long and Thanks for all the Fish by Douglas Adams "There was a point to this story, but it has temporarily escaped the chronicler's mind."
