Question of the Day

Inspired by this list (PDF file):

What is your favorite last line from a novel?

As far as I know, we've done first lines, but never last lines. And I'm totally drawing a blank. The first one that popped into my head* was from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, so I'll go with that.

"Anything to eat?" Charlie cried, laughing. "Oh, you just wait and see!"

*(Actually, the first one to pop into my head was the final line from Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery," but that's a short story.)
