I am not very good at guessing movie quotes but I loved LN's thread about guessing them, so I thought I'd start a topic in which I could hope to be slightly more successful (though I have to confess I have been lazy lately and not been reading much):

Guess the Literature Quote

Anyway I'll start with a couple of -I hope- easy ones

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Of Man's first disobedience and the fruit
Of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste
Brought death into the world and all our woe........

--------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I lingered round them, under that benign sky; watched the moths fluttering among the heath, and hare-bells; listened to the soft windbreathing through the grass; and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this son of York
And all the clouds that lour'd upon our House
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------

'I'll tell you one thing', he said, straightening up, wiping his brow. 'That was a bloody good carpenter put this job together and I don't care what the parson says.'

--------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's just say that if complete and utter chaos was lightning, then he'd be the sort to stand on a hilltop in a thunderstorm wearing wet copper armour and shouting 'All gods are bastards'. Got any food?

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Good luck guessing!

BTW could anyone who wants to include quotes from D&D novels and the like start a different thread... I am sure I would absolutely suck at that
