Writer's collect words and images, n'est pas?

So, I was wondering what people's favorite phrases or word images are - either from something you've read, watched or heard i.e songs, poems or movies?

I have a couple, and interestingly enough they both come from songs:

"the smell of hospitals in winter" - from a song by Counting Crows

"she's as shady as cheap sunglasses" - from a song off the Practical Magic soundtrack...

anybody want to share theirs?
