Dave Lull proposes that in any list of great opening lines the one from Dr. Johnson's Rasselas ought to be included:
Ye who listen with credulity to the whispers of fancy, and pursue
with eagerness the phantoms of hope; who expect that age will perform
the promises of youth, and that the deficiencies of the present day
will be supplied by the morrow; attend to Rasselas, the prince of
Abyssinia.
I agree.
