Last night I finished reading Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury and I still can't shake off the deep impression it made on me. I don't know why, but the last two lines of the novel really hit me over the head:

DILSEY.
They endured.

This is probably the shortest, the deepest and the most precise description of a key character I've ever encountered in literature.
