Never do anything by halves if you want to get away with it. Be outrageous. Go the whole hog. Make sure everything you do is so completely crazy it's unbelievable.

Zwei Stunden an einem Roman zu schreiben, lässt den Autor völlig entleert zurück. In diesen beiden Stunden war er an einem anderen Ort, mit völlig anderen Menschen.

Two hours of writing fiction leaves this writer completely drained. For those two hours he has been in a different place with totally different people.

Mr Willy Wonka can make marshmallows that taste of violets, and rich caramels that change colour 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 taste, and sugar balloons that you can blow up to enormous sizes before you pop them with a pin and gobble them up. And, by a most secret method, he can make lovely blue birds' eggs with black spots on them, and when you put one of these in your mouth, it gradually gets smaller and smaller until suddenly there is nothing left except a tiny little darkred sugary baby bird sitting on the tip of your tongue.

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.

Diese Bücher gaben ihr eine hoffnungsfrohe und tröstliche Botschaft: Du bist nicht allein.

So Matilda’s strong young mind continued to grow, nurtured by the voices of all those authors who had sent their books out into the world like ships on the sea. These books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message: You are not alone.

Ich begann zu verstehen, wie einfach das Leben war, wenn man regelmäßige Routinen mit festen Zeiten, ein festes Gehalt und sehr wenig Nachzudenken hatte.

I began to realize how simple life could be if one had a regular routine to follow with fixed hours, a fixed salary, and very little original thinking to do.

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.

If I had my way, I'd remove January from the calendar altogether and have an extra July instead.
