Clues for the remaining quotations:

1. "Do we find happiness so often that we should turn it off the box when it happens to sit there?" - An English writer. The book is set partly in England, partly elsewhere.

2. 4. "When women are the advisers, the lords of creation don't take the advice till they have persuaded themselves that it is just what they intended to do. Then they act upon it, and, if it succeeds, they give the weaker vessel half the credit of it. If it fails, they generously give her the whole." - An American writer.

5. "We are never told what would have happened." - This one is the trickiest, so here's a better-known quotation from the same book: "... that is not what a star is, but only what it is made of."

8. "She was trusted and valued by her father, loved and courted by all dogs, cats, children, and poor people, and slighted and neglected by everybody else." - Orlok identified the writer as Anne Bronte, so there aren't many titles to choose from.
