With apologies in advance to Ed Kiser, we may as well knock off Dante:

"Nel mezzo del camin di nostra vita
Mi retrovai per una selva oscura
Che la diritta via esse smarrita.
Allora, ho trovato un signpost."

and Proust:

"Longtemps, je me suis couche de bonne heure. Et je suis endormi tout de suite, sans reves."

And, for Missee Lee, the San Guo (Romance of the Three Kingdoms):

"The Empire, long united, must divide. The Empire, long divided, must unite. Not a lot more to say, really!"

And finally:

"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. He had far too much sense to open the front door to strangers wearing funny hats, so after a few minutes the visitor went away."
