7. You are too young to understand it ... but sometimes the Bible in the hand of one man is worse than a whiskey bottle in the hand of--oh, of your father. - TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD

8. It's a strange thing, but when you are dreading something, and would give anything to slow down time, it has a disobliging habit of speeding up. - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - guessed by goodpilgrim!

14. Land is the only thing in the world that amounts to anything, for ’tis the only thing in this world that lasts. - Gone With the Wind - guessed by gemius!

15. I insist upon my rooms being beautiful! I can’t abide ugliness in factories! In we go, then! But do be careful, my dear children! Don’t lose your heads! Don’t get overexcited! Keep very calm! - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - guessed by macguffin!

CLEARLY YOU ALL FAILED AT MY SOCIAL EXPERIMENT. Kidding. I was actually just glad people got some at all. Aside from the Lord of the Rings one, which I knew Sunni was going to get before I even pastede it on yey it on the page.

WE ARE AT THE TOP OF EACH OTHER'S LISTS. YAY US!!

I actually haven't read any of the ones I didn't get, although #s 1 and 7 STILL sound so familiar, so I think they must just be very quotable lines that I've heard elsewhere.
