I love Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. So many great quotes (although this is my favorite)! Gene Wilder, who played Willy Wonka in the original movie, used to live down the street from me. Of course I never saw him or anything and I don't think it was his main residence. But it was still fun to drive by and think "Gene Wilder could be there right at this moment!"
Interesting fact: This quote was not originally from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, it was from a poem named Ode written by English poet Arthur O'Shaughnessy. Maybe you already knew that. Maybe you didn't (I didn't!). Guess you learn a new thing everyday :)
