The Hitch-Hiker and Other Short Stories QUOTES

1 " I think the reason I do not want to die is because of the things I hope will happen. Yes, that's right. I'm sure that's right. Point a revolver at a tramp, at a wet shivering tramp on the side of the road and say, "I'm going to shoot you", and he will cry, "Don't shoot. Please don't shoot." The tramp clings to life because of the things he hopes will happen. "

― Roald Dahl , The Hitch-Hiker and Other Short Stories

2 " The trouble is, I'm writer, and most writers are terrible nosey parkers. "

― Roald Dahl , The Hitch-Hiker and Other Short Stories
