Macbeth
· Lady Macbeth - "Great Glamis, worthy Cawdor, Greater than both, by the all-hail hereafter, thy letters have transported me beyond this ignorant present, and I feel now the future in the instant" - Lady Macbeth to Macbeth (Shakespeare, 34)
· Witches Prophecy – “All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, thane of Glamis!...All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor!... All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!” Witches to Macbeth (Shakespeare, 14)
· Dagger – “Is this a dagger I see before me, the handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. I have not thee, and yet I see thee still.” – Macbeth to himself/imaginary dagger (Shakespeare, 50)

LOF
· The Fire – “Jack knelt too and blew gently, so that the smoke drifted away, thickening, and a tiny flame appeared…The flame flapped higher and the boys broke into a cheer” Description of first fire (Golding, 41)
· The Pig – “’Rescue? Yes, of course! All the same, I’d like to catch a pig first—‘ He snatched up his spear and dashed it into the ground. The opaque, mad look came into his eyes again” Jack (Golding, 53)
· The Beast – “’He says the beast came in the dark’” Littleuns/Piggy (Golding, 36)
· Breaking Off – “’We’ll make sure later, but I think it’s uninhabited.’” Ralph (Golding, 30)
· CANDLES! –“’Like candles. Candle bushes. Candle buds.’” (Golding, 30)

Fahrenheit 451
· Clarisse – “’Do you mind if I walk back with you? I’m Clarisse McClellan.’” (Bradbury, 6)
· Beatty – “Beatty stood there looking at him steadily with his eyes, while his mouth opened and began to laugh, very softly” (Bradbury, 28)
· Woman in house – “The woman on the porch reached out with contempt to them all and struck the kitchen match against the railing” (Bradbury, 40)
· Mildred’s illness – “The woman on the bed was no more than a hard stratum of marble they had reached. Go on, anyway, shove the bore down, slush up the emptiness, if such a thing could be brought out in the throb of the suction snake” (Bradbury, 14)
· Firemen – “there was no longer need of firemen for the old purposed. They were given the new job, as custodians of our peace of mind, the focus of out understandable and rightful dread of being inferior: official censors, judges, and executors. That’s you, Montag, and that’s me” (Bradbury, 58-59)
· Faber – “Yes, of course, again he found himself thinking of the green park a year ago. The thought had been with him many times recently but now he remembered how it was that day in the city park when he had seen that old man in the black suit hide something, quickly, in his coat” (Bradbury, 74)

The Chosen
· Baseball in eye – “I was still a little off balance from the pitch, but I managed to bring my glove up in front of my face just as he hit the ball. I saw it coming at me, and there was nothing I could do. It hit the finger section of my glove, deflected off, smashed into the upper rim of the left lens of my glasses, glanced off my forehead, and knocked me down.” (Potok, 29)
· David encouraging Reuven to be friends –“’ You did a foolish thing, Reuven,’ he told me sternly.’ You remember what the Talmud says. If a person comes to apologize for having hurt you, you must listen and forgive him.’” – (Potok, 63)
· Just because it’s cool – “the accident with the baseball has bound him to you” (Potok, 110)
· “’I thought you said your father never talks to you.’ ‘he doesn’t.’” (Potok, 116)
· Freud – “That’s what psychoanalysis is all about. I haven’t read too much about it yet, but it’s a long process. You’ve heard about Freud. He started psychoanalysis. I’m teaching myself German, so I can read him in the original.”
