QUOTES
“A little nonsense now and then is cherished by the wisest men.”
“So, please, oh please, we beg, we pray, go throw your TV set away, and in its place, you can install, a lovely bookcase on the wall.”
“A person is a fool to become a writer. His only compensation is absolute freedom. He has no master except his own soul, and that, I am sure, is why he does it.”
I LOVED his books! I think my favorites are Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, Matilda, The BFG, and Witches.😊
