Last lines in books that you remember.

I don't remember the last line, but the final act of Tom Clancy's book "Debt of Honor" published in 1994 shook me to my core, where a Japanese airline pilot crashed a 747 into the Capitol Building during the State of the Union address - and this was 7 years before September 11, 2001. As I watched 9/11 happen in real-time on TV, memories of that book came roaring back...

Frankly, while I've read a lot of books, I can't think of any...

The last paragraph of Frederick Forsyth's "The Devil's Alternative" stands the entire book on its head. You're turning to that last page thinking it's all wrapped up in a neat bow, then one of the key characters turns to the protagonist and completely flips the script.
