I'm going to post some book quotes, then you'll try to anwser the book then author and if you can, say who said the quote.

Anybody can add more if you wish.

1) "Four legs good, two legs bad."

2)"If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?"

3) "Big Brother is watching"

Thats all I can think of.

There all from George Orwell books. Tongue I'm guessing that the second is also from 1984. However it's only a guess as I have never read it. Anyway heres my input:

"George goes to sleep at the bank from two to four each day. Except saturday, when they wake him up and put him outside at two."

Good luck! Grin

#2 is from The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespear. Roll Eyes I know many quotes.

An easy one: "Alive without breath;
as cold as death;
never thirsting,ever drinking;
clad in mail, never clinking.
Drowns on dry land,
thinks an island
is a mountain;
thinks a fountain
is a puff of air.
So sleek, so fair!
We only wish
to catch a fish,
so juicy-sweet!"

a harder one: "Although I had less than a minute for reflection, I felt, by a kind of instinct, That I must conceal my experiences from my Wife"

(I read alot)

good luck!

George Orwell - 1984 ??


It's from 1984, a very bizzar book. It's a dark tale of socialism run amuck. It takes place in London. Personal thought is forbiddin and so is sex for pleasure. Everyone is watched on "Telescreens" all the time. The main character works for the ministry of information where he rewrights history to conform with what the mysterious Big Brother says to make it seem like he is always right. The main character ends up rebelling, falling in love, and being betrayed by a friend in Big Brother's inner circle. He is taken to be reprogrammed and the novel ends like the entire middle of the novel never happened.

The anwsers alredy have been said, here are them again.

1) Animal Farm - George Orwell (Authur Eric Blair)

2) The Merchant of Venice - Shakespeare

3) 1984 - George Orwell

Chop, is that first quote from The Hobbit? The scene when Bilbo gets seperated from the elves and meets Gollum? I have no idea what the second one is.

4) "The horror, the horror, the horror"

5) "O brave new world, that has such people in it"

6) "You mean you eat flies?" gasped Wilbur

i read '84 an i can say,that it was a quite interesting book with good relations to reality. just a little exaggerated. Wink
it was written in '49 and i think the inspiration for this book was the third reich and the soviet union with its "surveillance" institutions and actions against people who were thinking in a different way.

I guess the best way to predict the future is to exaggerate the present.

As Exploder points out, Orwell's "1984" was written in 1949, a mere 50 years ago when the world was very different. It seemed pure fantasy then but if you think about it carefully much of what he wrote has already come true. Roll Eyes

Correction Hagar, 1984 was written in 1948. He swapped the last two digits around to get the name of the book.

6- Apocalypse now.

7-?

8- Lord of the flies

I think my last set of quotes have been said in two places, a book or a movie. I'll take both anwsers but as a bonus you can put down both

*in my last set of quotes

The first was said in Apocalypse Now, but it was also said in the book it was derived from. If you have the movie the answer is on the back.

I looked up the second one and I said it wrong.

The third one is not quite Lord of The Flies, but the character that said the quote is not human.

Sounds logical to me & I'm sure you're correct, unless he was a quick worker. Wink
It was actually published in June 1949. Must admit that explanation never occurred to me before.
