More quotes by Roald Dahl
Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you.
Roald Dahl
You mean you live down here?' Matilda asked. 'I do', Miss Honey replied, but she said no more. Matilda had never once stopped to think about where Miss Honey might be living. She had always regarded her purely as a teacher, a person who turned up out of nowhere and taught at school and then went away again.
Roald Dahl
All you do is to look / At a page in this book / Because that's where we always will be. / No book ever ends / When it's full of your friends / The Giraffe and the Pelly and me.
Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl
To shipbrokers, coal was black gold.
Roald Dahl
I was already beginning to realize that the only way to conduct oneself in a situation where bombs rained down and bullets whizzed past, was to accept the dangers and all the consequences as calmly as possible. Fretting and sweating about it all was not going to help.
Roald Dahl
Fiona has the same glacial beauty of an iceburg, but unlike the iceburg she has absolutely nothing below the surface.
Roald Dahl
No book ever ends, when it's full of your friends.
Roald Dahl
(Television) rots the senses in the head! It kills imagination dead! It clogs and clutters up the mind! It makes a child so dull and blind He can no longer understand A fantasy, a fairyland! His brain becomes as soft as cheese! His powers of thinking rust and freeze! He cannot think -he only sees!
Roald Dahl
Some children are spoiled and it is not their fault, it is their parents.
Roald Dahl
Eschew all those beastly adjectives.
Roald Dahl
I'm right and you're wrong, I'm big and you're small, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Roald Dahl
