Frases iniciais exemplares

Foi Jorge Luis Borges, se não me engano, que sentenciou a importância crucial da primeira frase de um romance. O André Moura e Cunha concorda, e ainda bem. Um dos trechos seminais que mais aprecio é da autoria de Herman Melville, o livro é Moby Dick na edição de bolso da Penguin.

"Call me Ishmael. Some years ago -- never mind how long precisely -- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen, and regulating the circulation."
