"But there is a world of difference between falling in love with a voice and remaining in love with a person you can see. From the moment I opened my eyes, Mary became a human instead of a dream and my passion evaporated." ๐ช๏ธ

"If you want something badly enough, and if you need something badly enough, you can always get it. You have a lot to learn. But you are a good boy. You are fighting for freedom. So do I."
Going Solo by #RoaldDahl
"The stillness was overpowering. There was no sound at all, no voice of bird or insect anywhere, and it gave me a queer godlike feeling to be standing there alone in such a splendid hot inhuman landscape - as though I were on another planet, on Jupiter or Mars, or in some place more desolate still, where never would the grass grow green nor a rose bloom red."๐๏ธ

"In a world, where war was all around me... not to mention life itself, was no longer too important. Survival was not something one struggled for any more. I was already beginning to realize that the only way to conduct oneself in a situation where bombs rained down and bullets whizzed past, was to accept the dangers and all the consequences as calmly as possible."

"After I had gone solo, I was allowed to go up alone for much of the time and it was wonderful. How many young men, I kept asking myself, were lucky enough to be allowed to go whizzing and soaring through the sky above a country as beautiful as Kenya? Even the aeroplane and the petrol were free!"

"Above all, I learned how to look after myself in a way that no young person can ever do by staying in civilization."

"Homesickness is a bit like seasickness. You don't know how awful it is till you get it, and when you do, it hits you right in the top of the stomach and you want to die. The only comfort is that both homesickness and seasickness are instantly curable."
Boy by #RoaldDahl
"His theory was that if the eye of a pregnant woman was constantly observing the beauty of nature, this beauty would somehow become transmitted to the mind of the unborn baby within her womb and that baby would grow up to be a lover of beautiful things. This was the treatment that all of his children received before they were born."

Gerade angekommen.
Fรผr den kleinen morbiden Snack zwischendurch, die zwei Klassiker mit 11 bzw. 14 Stories in einem Buch. Zur Zeit weder einzelnd, neu noch als E-Book oder Hรถrbuch erhรคltlich.
Daher gebraucht gekauft fรผr nur knapp 2,- โฌ. Der Versand war teurer.
Ich kann mich kaum noch erinnern und hab seinerzeit sicher nicht alle Geschichten gelesen. Mir ist tatsรคchlich fast nur noch die Story mit der Lammkeule im Gedรคchtnis.

A fair warning for anyone reading Roald Dahl's short stories (as I am right now). His early stories are zestless war stories. Derivative commercial crap. I was so disappointed!
Until I read "The Sound Machine."
This is the tale where he becomes the twisted and fantastical Roald Dahl we know in the children's books. THAT'S the place to start. Where he becomes a true writer.
