I can say with certainty that #10 is Douglas Adams, although my memory refuses to be 100% sure of the book — maybe The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, on the very first page?

I love those quotes and can’t wait to see who said them. The only one I knew was #10 – Douglas Adams.
10) is indeed Douglas Adams. Dreamseeker is correct on where it occurs as well.

Okay … so far the correct guesses were:
(1) Princess Di – Nyree

(5) Erma Bombeck – Nyree
(9) George Lucas – Herbie and litboiler
(10) Douglas Adams – DreamSeeker, pixelpusher and litboiler
