I'll consider books with at least 50 years, as a rule of thumb to consider pieces that have impacted and endured multiple generations. As a personal rule, it should also be a book that I read some years ago and still resides in my usual thoughts, creeping in while I'm daydreaming or thinking about a personal situation. I haven't read many of the books here mentioned, although it seems I have read most of the more often mentioned.
Alphabetical order:
"Crime and Punishment", Fyodor Dostoevsky
"Jane Eyre", Charlotte Brontë
"Wuthering Heights", Emily Brontë
Like so many others here, I'm fond of gothic fiction.

At the moment, I usually take a caffè latte for breakfast and an espresso after lunch. Sometimes I take an espresso and green tea for breakfast and another espresso or caffè latte later. What about black tea, you might ask, and that is a reasonable inquiry.
P.S.: I also usually drink one or two cappuccino decafs at night.

Though not exactly a quote, the title of the book 'The Wind Cannot Read' by Richard Mason is taken from a Japanese poem, "Though on the sign it is written: 'Don't pluck these blossoms'–it is useless against the wind, which cannot read”. It appears in the frontispiece.
I like this poem, as well as japanese/chinese poetry and proverbs. The author is Ryōkan Taigu, an 18th century calligrapher and monk, which as we know is code for warrior.

Regarding that last grand prix, I think it was unreasonable how Hamilton near the start simply cut through the chicane, gained an unfair advantage and the officials didn't demand him to return the place or give him a 5-second penalty at the box.

Red Dead Redemption 2 introduced me to "Mountain Hymn". Nice voice.
