We've Given You the Firsts, Now....How Bout the Lasts?

"He loved Big Brother."

George Orwell - 1984

Seems fitting to start this "Last Lines" series with a line from a book that got on the list as a great first line too. However, I must say, this is a bit worrisome. Based on just this first entry, I wonder if this series may be a tad more difficult than the other. There may need to be a bit of context in order to understand why these are great last lines. Who would know what a great, dynamic, soul-churning, last line that above line is, if they had not read the book?
