I think my favorite excerpt from a book comes from the last paragraph in John Knowles' A Separate Peace:
All of them, all except Phineas, constructed at infinite cost to themselves these Maginot Lines against this enemy they thought they saw across the frontier, this enemy who never attacked that way – if he ever attacked at all; if he was indeed the enemy.
