I like the opening sentence in Charles Dickens' classic "A Tale of Two Cities". http://www.gutenberg.org/files/98/98-h/98-h.htm … shows the sentence. If I had to choose a sentence that captures the zeitgeist of the late 18th century, this would be it !

As for me the first sentence of Don Delillo's Zero K captures the zeitgeist of these times: "Everybody wants to own the end world"
