memorable lines
Words worth repeating
Memorable lines are words or phrases from speeches, films, books, or songs that stick in cultural memory and get quoted or referenced: The movie is full of memorable lines.
The term often appears in discussions of screenwriting, poetry, or rhetoric—what makes certain phrases catch on while others fade.
A work can succeed commercially yet produce no memorable lines, while a flop might contribute phrases everyone knows.
