My personal favourite:

"It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen."
- George Orwell, 1984

Honourable mention to:

"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit"
- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit

And who can forget:

"It was the best of times; it was the worst of times."
- Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

Apologies to the mods if this has been created before. If it exists, I couldn't find it.
