Probably Great Expectations. Although neither are really in the same league as, say, Oliver Twist.

Probably, since it was the first genuine concession ever made by a monarch, the Magna Carta.
Famous war quotes:
Adolf Galland (German fighter ace) on returning from an attack over the UK which failed to destroy the RAF completely.
"Wir haben heute den Krieg verloren, und der Rache der Holle auf uns gebracht" (today we lost the war, and brought the wrath of hell down upon ourselves)
Or, Winston Churchill, on hearing of victory at Alamein...
"It is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is perhaps the end of the beginning"

Gallands at least sounds spontaneous whereas Churchills looks scripted
