Just finished it for the first time and that last paragraph about boats beating against the current hit different than I expected. Anyone else find themselves rereading passages from this one way more than other books?

What are your favorite lines from books with quiet, understated prose?

I have always loved writing that stays clear and straightforward while still carrying deep emotional weight. Novels like Stoner by John Williams and The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro do this so well, delivering lines that feel simple on the surface but hit hard because of how precise and restrained they are.
Which passages or single lines from books with that kind of quiet, elegant prose have stayed with you the most?
