I must admit to having read only two 'classic' novels - Pride & Prejudice and Great Expectations (both at school) so I wouldn't know a quote from Woolf if I feel over it in a dark alley :)
I only recognised one of the Gone With the Wind quotes, and not the muppet show one and I wouldn't recognise a Little Mermaid one either if that helps :)
Generally I think in most countries around the world more people will recognise movie/tv quotes than book quotes because they tend to find their way into popular culture a lot.
