The movie you're referring to is American Grafitti, so the quote must be by George Lucas....

Another movie related quote:
"Every time I go to a movie, it's magic, no matter what the movie's about"

It must be a know-it-all female. Lessee, hell, that could be my wife, even.

I'm gonna' guess: Gertrude Stein, am I even close?

I came, I saw, I conquered.

From the Roman Empire, but not sure precisely when/who... though certainly not Nero or Caligula. Marcus Auraelius (sp?) ... or possibly even older and back to either Augustus or Julius Caesar?

It was said by Julie himself, in 49 BCE.

Nothing like throwing 4 answers out there and "getting credit for the win"... LOL

New Quote: "I don't know whether it's the finest public housing in America or the crown jewel of the American penal system." ... (referencing the White House).

This one sounds as if it were from a man with more than a desiccated sense of humor. So that leaves only the current president, Mr. Obama, right?

nope, not Obama.

abstract hint: Take the homophone of the second to last word of the quote as a hint ... will likely lead you to the correct answer.

So far my thoughts of homophones led me to the name of Clinton for his phallic or penile fascinations. Ai-je raison? (Am I correct?)

New quote: "Everyone has fifteen minutes of fame." Perhaps, I paraphrase a small amount. This game is all memory after all, and to err is human. Please forgive me my foibles as I forgive those who foible against me.

Andy Warhol said it, but not quite like that... Can it still be considered a quote if you paraphrase?
