There was a poll that stated—Rowling’s opening line in the HP series is one of best in the world. Someone posted about how there are a bunch of other opening statements that are better.
Here’s one of my personal favorites, from Gabriel Garcia Marquez (in English):
“It is inevitable. The scent of bitter almonds always reminded him of the fate of unrequited love.”
What are some of your favorite opening lines in literature? 😊
