Quote context

- From then on, every day, as soon as her mother went to bingo, Matilda walked the 10 blocks to the library and devoured one book after another.

- When she finished all the children's books, she started wandering around in search of something else.

- Mrs. Phelps, who had been watching her with fascination for the past few weeks, offered Matilda some valuable library information.

- You know, you could have your very own library card. And then you could take books home and you wouldn't have to walk here every day. You could take as many as you like.

- That would be wonderful.

- 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 onto the sea.

- These books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message: You are not alone.

- Any packages come today?

- Where did all this come from?

- The library? You've never set foot in a library. You're only 4 years old.

- Six and a half.

- If you were six and a half, you'd be in school already.

- I want to be in school. I told you I was supposed to start school in September. You wouldn't listen.

Top rated lines from this movie

I say appearance is nine-tenths of the law. People don't buy a car, they buy me. Which is why I personally take such pride in my appearance: well-oiled hair, clean shaved, snappy suit.

A book? What do you want a book for? -To read. -To read? Why would you wanna read when you got the TV set sitting right in front of you? There's nothing you can get from a book that you can't get from a television faster.

College! I didn't go to college. I don't know anybody who did. Bunch of hippies and cesspool salesmen.

You like to read? -Oh, yes, I love to read. -What do you like to read? -Everything, but lately I've been reading Darles Chickens.

Snickerdoodle, what did you do to your hair?
