Sorry, But Only 🤓 an Actual Bookworm Can Score 16/22 on This 📚 Famous Novel Quotes Quiz

Many of us enjoy a good book, whether it is a mystery that intrigues, a touching story that moves us to tears, or a poem that rouses our passions, a piece of well-written literature can have an impact on our emotions, on our behavior and even on our values. To quote Cliff Fadiman, "When you reread a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than there was before." From a striking first sentence to a well-written string of dialogue, many memorable lines stay with us long after we turn the final page.

If you know plenty of iconic literary quotes, then you should not have a problem acing this quiz. You will be given a quote in each question, and you have to match it to the book it came from. Even if you have never read these books, you may have come across at least a couple of these quotes because they are so iconic. Complete this quiz to find out how well-read you actually are.
