CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY QUOTES BOOK

“Mr. Wonka can make marshmallows that taste of violets, and rich caramels that change color every ten seconds as you suck them, and little feathery sweets that melt away deliciously the moment you put them between your lips. He can make chewing-gum that never loses its flavor, and candy balloons that you can blow up to enormous sizes before you pop them with a pin and gobble them up.”

“Mr. Wonka’s inventions were always a little bit ahead of their time. He once made a candy that lasted for hours—like a boiled sweet—but you could suck it and give it to twenty other people and it would never get any smaller.”

“It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen,” said Charlie. “It was wonderful—a big waterfall of chocolate, running down into a huge chocolate river. And beside the waterfall and the river there were trees with trunks made of striped sugar and branches made of licorice!”

“It was a enormous room, and in the middle of one wall there was a gigantic round door. Everybody was standing in front of it, waiting for it to open.”

“There are many people in this world who can eat a lot of cake without becoming anything other than rather plump. But I did not like the greedy look in Augustus Gloop’s eyes: I did not like his sharp nails or his gigantic appetite. And I did not like Augustus Gloop.”

“The other four children are orphans—but I can tell you that children are not loved in orphanages any more than they are loved in the other places where wicked things are said to happen. At least there is always a chance that a golden ticket will come floating out of the sky one day.”

“The most important thing in the world is family and love.”

“So 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.”

“There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination.”

“You should never, never doubt what nobody is sure about.” SAD QUOTES FROM FAMOUS AUTHORS

“So please spare us your sympathy and bear in mind that the life of the ordinary schoolboy is a hard one.”
