Roald Dahl Quotes

To commemorate his 98th birthday last week, this website has compiled 13 Roald Dahl quotes*...

I especially like the ones about reading and books... Those'll probably end up in my classroom this year!

*Tip o' the energy dome to Moms for sending the link to me... love you!

Humanity I Love You

Humanity i love you
because you would rather black the boots of
success than enquire whose soul dangles from his
watch-chain which would be embarrassing for both

parties and because you
unflinchingly applaud all
songs containing the words country home and
mother when sung at the old howard

Humanity i love you because
when you’re hard up you pawn your
intelligence to buy a drink and when
you’re flush pride keeps

you from the pawn shop and
because you are continually committing
nuisances but more
especially in your own house

Humanity i love you because you
are perpetually putting the secret of
life in your pants and forgetting
it’s there and sitting down

on it
and because you are
forever making poems in the lap
of death Humanity

i hate you

This quote hit pretty close to home...

to persist in the face of continual rejection requires a deep love of the work itself

Amen!
