Roald Dahl nejznámější citáty

„Prosíme, žádáme vás, modlíme se, vyhoďte televizor a na jeho místo si přidělejte krásnou polici na knihy.“

Roald Dahl

„Mám vášeň učit děti, aby se staly čtenáři. Aby byly s knihou rády, nikoli stresovány. Knihy by neměly odrazovat, měly by být vtipné, vzrušující a nádherné.“

Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl citát: „Ti, kdo nevěří v magii, ji nikdy nenaleznou.“

„Ti, kdo nevěří v magii, ji nikdy nenaleznou.“

„Víte, nebojím se smrti. Jen mi budete všichni strašně chybět.“

Roald Dahl

Poslední slova Roalda Dahla. S postupujícím věkem ho postihla nemoc kostní dřeně a jeho stav se rapidně zhoršoval. Byl převezen do nemocnice a bylo jasné, že mu zbývá velmi málo času. Obklopen rodinou vyřkl ta nejkrásnější poslední slova: “Víte, nebojím se smrti. Jen mi budete všichni strašně chybět.”

Poté zavřel oči a přestal reagovat. Sestřička, pod dojmem, že upadl do bezvědomí, naplnila injekci morfinem, aby jeho odchod ulehčila.

V momentě, kdy do něj píchla jehlu, Dahl sebou cukl a zaječel “Aw FUCK!”. Za pár minut zemřel...

„Buď hodná až tady nebudu, a nikdy nezapomínej že je těžší být vdovou nežli manželkou. Nepij koktejly. Neutrácej. Nekuř. Necpi se sladkostmi. Nemaluj se. Nekupuj si televizi. V létě mi pravidelně odpleveluj skalku a záhon růží. A abych nezapomněl: teď když už nebudu používat telefon, bude myslím nejrozumnější, když ho dáš odpojit.''“

Roald Dahl

“The books transported her into new worlds and introduced her to amazing people who lived exciting lives. She went on olden-day sailing ships with Joseph Conrad. She went to Africa with Ernest Hemingway and to India with Rudyard Kipling. She travelled all over the world while sitting in her little room in an English village.”

"Goodbye school" in Boy: Tales of Childhood (1984)

“I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. If you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good, either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be.”
