"The questions were always the same. Was there gold hidden in the village? Silver, gems? Was there more food? Where was Lord Beric Dondarrion? Which of the village folk had aided him? When he rode off, where did he go? How many men were with them? How many knights, how many bowmen, how many men-at-arms? How were they armed? How many were horsed? How many were wounded? What other enemy had they seen? How many? When? What banners did they fly? Where did they go? Was there gold hidden in the village? Silver, gems? Where was the Lord Beric Dondarrion? How many men were with him? By the third day, Arya could have asked the questions herself." - A Clash Of Kings
This paragraph alone does a great job of invoking fear and showing what being along Gregor Clegane's men must have been like. Clash of Kings is actually my least favorite book, but this passage has always stuck with me.
Another one I really like, just because:
I am the ghost of Harrenhal.
