    A DISPLEASED ITALIAN: You can't do that signor

    AN AMERICAN IN ITALY: I have done it.


    hint: oak park illinois is a place with wide streets and narrow minds

    this is going too slow.

    so here's another to be identified:

    "i should've been a pair ragged claws scuttling across the bottom of the seas"

    the previous dialogue is from hemmingway's a farewell to arms.

    aww.. it didn't die.
    The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock - T.S. Eliot

    "In the deepest slumber--no! In delirium--no! In a swoon--no! In death--no! even in the grave all is not lost. Else there is no immortality for man."

    fine, another hint: author writes about the macabre.
    I guess this is a mildly difficult game...
    c'mon you bookworms!

    This should be relatively easy:
    " 'We are the priests of power,' he said. 'God is power. But at present power is only a word so far as you are concerned. It is time for you to gather some idea of what power means. The first thing you must realize is that power is collective. The individual only has power in so far he ceases to be an individual. You know the Party slogan 'Freedom is Slavery'. Has it ever occurred to you that this is reversible?' "

    I'd say 1984 by George Orwell.
    O schaurig ists übers Moor zu gehn,
    wenn es wimmelt vom Heiderauche,
    sich wie Phantome die Dünste drehn
    und die Ranke häkelt am Strauche.

    Then I'll do the next one.

    "[He] cried lustily. If he could have known that he was an orphan, left to the tender mercies of churchwardens and overseers, perhaps he would have cried the louder."

    I won't give you the name of that [He]. Now that would be telling!
