For at eight o’clock the world came to an end. It was reading time. The hours between eight in the evening and one or two in the morning have always been my magic hours.

About This Quote

The magic of childhood is often lost as we grow older. As the years go on, life becomes more and more important and things that were once fun become chores. It isn’t uncommon to hear adults complain about how their children don’t seem to enjoy their childhood anymore. How many times have you heard someone say that they miss the days when they were a kid? They would be better off sticking to those carefree days and not worrying about the future. This quote from Roald Dahl is a great reminder for parents and those who are older than them to remember their past and cherish those memories.
