I think I might have cried reading the count of Monte Cristo that scene where he meets Mercédès and she recognizes him and begs him not to kill her son.

Lolita.
I finished the book and I kind of assumed Dolores had a good ending, she seemed to be turning her life around being pregnant and married and everything. Then, a couple of days later, I reread the prologue
>died in childbed giving birth to a stillborn girl, on Christmas Day 1952, in Gray Star, a settlement in the remotest Northwest
I didn't know they were talking about her when first reading it. Made me very sad for some reason, particularily after reading HH's regrets and how he realizes he robbed her of her youth. One of the last things he tells her is he hopes she has a son.

Bridge to Terabithia when I was 10. Literally nothing else. All Quiet on the Western Front got me close though.

>It is for this reason that most of us would rather love than be loved. Almost everyone wants to be the lover. And the curt truth is that, in a deep secret way, the state of being beloved is intolerable to many. The beloved fears and hates the lover, and with the best of reasons. For the lover is forever trying to strip bare his beloved. The lover craves any possible relation with the beloved, even if this experience can cause him only pain.

>But the hearts of small children are delicate organs. A cruel beginning in this world can twist them into curious shapes. The heart of a hurt child can shrink so that forever afterward it is hard and pitted as the seed of a peach. Or again, the heart of such a child may fester and swell until it is a misery to carry within the body, easily chafed and hurt by the most ordinary things.

>Life could become one long dim scramble just to get the things needed to keep alive. And the confusing point is this: All useful things have a price, and are bought only with money, as that is the way the world is run. You know without having to reason about it the price of a bale of cotton, or a quart of molasses. But no value has been put on human life; it is given to us free and taken without being paid for. What is it worth? If you look around, at times the value may seem to be little or nothing at all. Often after you have sweated and tried and things are not better for you, there comes a feeling deep down in the soul that you are not worth much.
