Quotes & Sayings About Television By Roald Dahl

There's nothin' you can get from a book that you can't get from a television fastah!
-Harry Wormwood — Roald Dahl

(Television) rots the senses in the head!
It kills imagination dead!
It clogs and clutters up the mind!
It makes a child so dull and blind
He can no longer understand
A fantasy, a fairyland!
His brain becomes as soft as cheese!
His powers of thinking rust and freeze!
He cannot think -he only sees! — Roald Dahl

that ridiculous machine, That nauseating, foul, unclean, Repulsive television screen! — Roald Dahl

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.
Then fill the shelves with lots of books. — Roald Dahl
