Quick look over breakfast, without even Google much less the bookshelf:
1 I'm sure I've seen before, but have no idea where.
2 To Kill a Mockingbird. (And I remember saying something very similar at the same age, only I'd never heard of algebra. Typing was the one thing I knew I couldn't (yet) do.)
3 One of my faves, too. Ged, Ursula K Le Guin - now, what was the title of that book? Wizard of Earthsea.... he's speaking to Tenar... or was it to Arren? It hardly matters, TBH, the quote stands alone, and he's really speaking to himself.
5,6 no idea
7 Trying to remember which Bible story it is. New Testament, anyway.
8 Ooh! Yes, I recognised it from a few of the words before you gave the translation. "The Spoils of Annwn". Written by Taliesin (probably). Also used extensively in Patricia Kennealy's "Copper Crown" series.
9 no idea. Given that it's in Italian, I wouldn't expect to know it, but it looks like something I'd like to learn more about.
10 It's one of those Vorkosigan quotes, Miles rather than Cordelia I expect (though he's probably quoting her). But I can't remember context.
