The following quotes are available:
- We have so much time and so little to do. Strike that, reverse it. (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)
- A little magic can take you a long way. (James and the Giant Peach)
- Oh please, oh please, we beg, we pray go throw your TV set away and in its place you can install a lovely bookshelf on the wall. (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)
- Don’t gobblefunk around with words. (The BFG)
- It doesn’t matter who you are or what you look like, so long as somebody loves you. (The Witches)
- A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts, they will shine out of your face like sunbeams, and you will always look lovely. (The Twits)
- It’s impossible to make your eyes twinkle if you aren’t feeling twinkly yourself. (Danny, the Champion of the World)
- 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. (The Minpins)
- 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)
- If you are good, life is good. (Matilda)
- Don’t worry about the bits you can’t understand. Sit back and allow the words to wash around you, like music. (Matilda)
