I'm looking for a way to highlight arbitrary line(s) in a buffer
persistently, for a emacs session. Is there a way?

put this as first line into your file:
-*- eval: (highlight-regexp "\"\\([^\"]+\\)\"") -*-
you can add a commont char in front.
You'll need to tweak the regex of course. The above highlights between
double quotes.
You can also use highlight-lines-matching-regexp instead.

O, if you just want to highligh in a session, just use:
M-x highlight-lines-matching-regexp
