OK, I'll agree that it is obscure. A clue is in order. It's on the first page of a book and applies to some form of machinery.
"This is tedious, really tedious! I thought you said we were going to have some fun!" - I did ask for suggestions. It's not easy to think of brilliant, complex, interesting quotes when you only read one book every one or two weeks. I do believe that if others gave some it would be more intersting.
My sincere apologies for wasting anyone's time. |

| The original idea was from books but it could be changed. |

Books as well.
Here's one:
He was dead. Nothing could change that. But I was the changer.
Is this alright, me posting quotes on here, Ofour? Just tell me when to shut up. I'm not onto subtle, except in character studies.

| Go ahead. So long as it's not too easy or hard I'll still award the points to the correct guesser (providing that you tell me if the answer is correct). |

No one's guessing!
Next quote to get the ball rolling: "Hey, Earthman. You still hungry?"
You must know who said that! |

Ford Prefect?
Or someone from HHGttG?
Oh. Zaphod, probably. *I need to re-read those books* |

Zaphod. Knew you'd get that one, Inkie! 
Next one. Someone must have read the same books as I have! So: "You would have had the ring to take with you, as a man takes his sword and his favourite hound."
OK, that might not be word-perfect, but it's close enough. |

| Hum, the "yellow" quote - it's not from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is it? About the Vogons' demolition machines? |

| It's from HHGttG but is on the first page. It's the first thing Arthur thinks. Not a great one. |

Yay! I got it! 
OK, I know I'm flooding this contest, but it's variety.
"To begin my life with the beginning of my life..."
"Which is it today?" I asked. "Morphine or coccaine?"
Someone who reads classic literature must know where those come from! Or am I alone? The last of my kind? *sniffles*

Can I post a quote too? This is my favourite one of all time (I hope it's not too easy):
"I'd prefer not to" |

On the ring one, LotRs? :n00bish grin: XD
This is a quote I'm rather fond of:
"Well, you demented little blueberry?" (Not word-for-word, but to that effect XD) |
