Question by Chloe M,: What are some good, meaningful lines from British literature and poetry?

I am doing a school project that involves selecting lines from British literature and poetry. I have to pick lines from novels, poems, short stories and essays by British writers from throughout the eras. At the moment I only have 10 lines and I could use some help selecting some more. If anyone has anything in mind, I would be very grateful! Thanks!
