I think some of you have misinterpreted the question. The quote need not be the first line of the novel. The quote can be from anywhere in the novel which you might have read on Instagram, Goodreads or any where for that matter. And the quote struck you so profoundly that you were motivated to read the entire novel.

I think a lot of redditors specifically are exposed to first-line quotes because there are a lot of "what's the best opening line of a novel" threads in r/books.

I'm honestly struggling to think of a quote that drew me to a book that wasn't an opening line, lol.
