"The primroses were over." - Watership Down, by Richard Adams

And because a) that was something of a let-down, and b) it feels lke a betrayal to do otherwise, I will include the first lines from the other books on my short stack.

"It was almost December, and Jonas was beginning to be frightened." - The Giver, by Lois Lowry

"It was little more than three miles from the Wall to the Old Kingdom, but that was enough." - Sabriel, by Garth Nix

"It was a dumb thing to do but it wasn't that dumb." - Sunshine, by Robin McKinley

ETA: I would have Good Omens in here too, but someone stole my book and I can't remember the line off the top of my head. Looking at you, Lauren...

ETA2: Shoot, I forgot Tuck Everlasting too. Don't have a copy of that one either... I should fix this. It is clearly a problem.
