Guess the book quote game

That sounds so familiar... Gah, I'm going to have to search this.
*Searches*
Of course! It's "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's (Sorcerer's) Stone"! It's referring to the Dursleys! I knew it sounded familiar!

"Life itself was meat. Life lived on life. There were the eaters and the eaten. The law was: EAT OR BE EATEN."

"It was times like these when I thought my father, who hated guns and had never been to any wars, was the bravest man who ever lived."

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."

[Flandor]

Dickens, a Tale of Two Cities

"Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!"

[DanielofRedwall]

That sounds like something a Hobbit would say. Am I right? Is it a Tolkien book? I'm not going to search this one, just let me know if I'm right.

"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

Matilda?

You can't win. You know that, don't you? It doesn't matter if you whip us, you'll still be where you were before, at the bottom. And we'll still be the lucky ones at the top with all the breaks. It doesn't matter. Greasers will still be Greasers and Socs will still be Socs. It doesn't matter

  "He fainted. Then he came to and remembered what happened and fainted again."

[Skipper]

No idea.
