See if you can identify the book or movie these quotes came from! (Extra credit if you can identify the speaker.) In the process, you'll learn some of my favorite books. Leave a comment with your answers. Include your email, and if you get them all right, we'll enter you into a drawing to win a paperback copy of John Otte's book Failstate. Look for my interview with John Otte later this summer!
Details:
Hints: All but one of the quotes are originally from fantasy books, and four of the six books have been made into major movies. The other two were made into a bad B movie and a bad TV movie.
No fair Google-searching the quotes! : )

Hmmm. . . still no comments? Okay, I'll give you one free. .. #5 is from The Dark is Rising series by Susan Cooper. It was published in the 1960s. : ) Check it out, if you haven't already. Can anyone get the other 5?
