Plus, because of that, it makes me wonder if it's a movie from the early 70s, or if it's a movie based on a book.

But I can't put a finger on what movie it might be.
Mostly, because I wasn't allowed to watch movies growing up, so I don't know homoe. What movie does that quote come from, anyway? I'll watch for other's guesses or your answer.

You're correct in assuming it's based on a book (from a rather shorter story in Readers Digest IF memory serves me correctly). It's a female writer although not famous or one you may ever heard of. Up until this publication she was an unheralded freelance writer whose work centered mainly on television screenplays and children's books.
