The crow landed on his naked belly and pressed its sharp claws into his skin. It was only a matter of time before it would start picking away at him bit by bit. He screamed as loudly as he could, and the bird finally let go, cawing as it flapped away. [...] He tried to yank his limbs free again but the harder he tried the further the barbs from the straps dug into his wrists and ankles. The sensation cut into him like a piercing treble tone. [...] The sun was shining with all its strength straight at the carefully placed lens which in turn directed the beams to a focal point next to the strapped-down man. The Earth's rotation took care of the rest. The last thing he heard was the horrid crackling of his own burning hair. - Victim without a face by Stefan Ahnhem (edited)

Technically it's the start of a chapter, but: "The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move." -Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)

Opening: "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. "Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort." Ending: “Of course!” said Gandalf. “And why should not they prove true? Surely you don’t disbelieve the prophecies, because you had a hand in bringing them about yourself? You don’t really suppose, do you, that all your adventures and escapes were managed by mere luck, just for your sole benefit? You are a very fine person, Mr. Baggins, and I am very fond of you; but you are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all!” “Thank goodness!” said Bilbo laughing, and handed him the tobacco-jar.

'It took me a long time and most of the world to learn what I know about love and fate and the choices we make, but the heart of it came to me in an instant, while I was chained to a wall and being tortured. I realised, somehow, through the screaming of my mind, that even in that shackled, bloody helplessness, I was still free: free to hate the men who were torturing me, or to forgive them. It doesn’t sound like much, I know. But in the flinch and bite of the chain, when it’s all you’ve got, that freedom is an universe of possibility. And the choice you make between hating and forgiving, can become the story of your life.' Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts.

Started thinking of all good ending of books I can remember and it made me want to read something more. I would say 100 years of solitude as one of the best but it's a hole page, there are many more, one that got freezed on my memory in a strange way was the Castle from Kafka.

"My mother thinks I’m dead. Obviously, I’m not dead, but it’s safer for her to think so." Opening line from Legend, by Marie Lu. I don't really have a favorite ending line, but hey, one outta two ain't bad- As far as book prompts are concerned, anyway.

I don't remember the starting but ending was awesome: "Eve : Tell me now about entanglement. ... Adam : Hm. ... Eve : How does it go again? Adam : When you separate an entwined particle and you move both parts away from the other, even at opposite ends of the universe, if you alter or affect one, the other will be identically altered or affected. Eve : Spooky. ... Adam : Yeah."

In the beginning the Universe was created. This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Cat-a-strophe

INTJ

Scorpio

"Hello, who are you? It doesn't matter. Welcome. You are safe with me. I'll be right here, nice and close so I can speak without alerting the others. [...] This is a journey deep into darkness." "When our time comes, we must look death in the eye and embrace it as a friend. Only then can we let go of fear and emerge from our darkness. Never forget what it is like to see the world as a child. Every autumn leaf is like a work of art. Every rolling cloud a moving picture. Every day a new story. We too emerge from this magic, like a wave from the ocean, only to return back to the sea. Do not mourn the waves, the leaves and the clouds. Even in darkness, the wonder and the beauty of this world never leaves us, it is always there, waiting to be seen again." * This isn't actually from a book but a brilliant video game *

"I was there", he would say afterwards, until afterwards became a time quite devoid of laughter. "I was there, the day Horus slew the Emperor." It was a delicious conceit, and his comrades would chuckle at the sheer treason of it.
