About

First Lines not only picks great opening lines from literature, it also serves up a searchable, filterable list from a large sample of works, so that anyone with a purpose from flanerie to research might make use of this tool and glean some inspiration or information from it.

First Lines is the work of Aames Bell. If you would like to contact me, please use one of the methods below, or take a look at the contact page if you like to squander your time on... ahem, “social” media.

Submissions: If you have a first line you would like to contribute go here.
