Roald Dahl
Do you know what breakfast cereal is made of? It's made of all those little curly wooden shavings you find in pencil sharpeners!
Roald Dahl
A girl should think about making herself look attractive so she can get a good husband later on. Looks is more important than books, Miss Hunky... The name is Honey, Miss Honey said. Now look at me, Mrs Wormwood said. Then look at you. You chose books. I chose looks.
Roald Dahl
When I was 2, we moved into an imposing country mansion 8 miles west of Cardiff, Wales.
Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl

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
Unless you have been to boarding-school when you are very young, it is absolutely impossible to appreciate the delights of living at home.
Roald Dahl
I'm wondering what to read next. Matilda said. I've finished all the children's books.
Roald Dahl
I shall never have a bath again, I said. Just dont have one too often, my grandmother said. Once a month is quite enough for a sensible child. It was at times like these that I loved my grandmother more than ever.
Roald Dahl
And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.
Roald Dahl
Mr. Twit was a twit. He was born a twit. And, now at the age of sixty, he was a bigger twit than ever.
Roald Dahl
You chose books, I chose looks . Now see the difference?
Roald Dahl
The snozberries taste like snozberries!
Roald Dahl
You seemed so far away, Miss Honey whispered, awestruck. Oh, I was. I was flying past the stars on silver wings, Matilda said. It was wonderful.
