Roald Dahl nejznámější citáty

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

„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.“

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

Roald Dahl

„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.''“

“There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity; maybe it's a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews. I mean there is always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere; even a stinker like Hitler didn't just pick on them for no reason.”

"Cool Dreams"
The BFG (1982)

“Little Billy’s mother was always telling him exactly what he was allowed to do and what he was not allowed to do. All the things he was allowed to do were boring. All the things he was not allowed to do were exciting. One of the things he NEVER NEVER was allowed to do, the most exciting of them all, was to go out through the garden gate all by himself and explore the world beyond.”
