"The quote 'It was the best of times,  it was the worst of times' 
is the first line from A TALE OF TWO CITIES, as is the line 
'It is a far, far better thing I do now than I have done before...'"

First book I ever heard of with two first lines.  Funny, too--when I
read it, it only had one (the best & worst one, of course).
