memorable line

Words worth repeating

A memorable line is a phrase or sentence from a film, book, speech, or song that sticks in cultural memory and gets quoted or referenced: Everyone knows the memorable line "Here's looking at you, kid".

Such lines often capture a moment perfectly or express something universal, making them outlast the works they came from.
