Quotations book

Hello, I've written a quations book. My question is how should I punctuate the 2 following situation: 1. Quote of a fictional book character. 2. Quate of a book/poem.

For the first option I thought this would work:

It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Meaning:

No authors name, no quation marks (since the whole book is a quations book), the book's name is in italic font.

For the second option I think that's okay:

A light here required a shadow there.

To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf

Am I right? I couldn't find any rules for quotations book.

Thanks in advance Emotion: embarrassed

You've punctuated them correctly, but pay attention to the spelling of "quote" and "quotation."

Secondly, I'm so sorry. This is so embarrassing. Maybe because I'm tired... Emotion: surprise
