Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator (Charlie Bucket, #2) by Roald Dahl

When they had all stopped stretching and bending, this was how they finished up: ‘Scram!’

“Don't ask yourself what kind of love you should seek, spiritual or material, divine or mundane, Eastern or Western. Divisions only lead to more divisions. Love has no labels, no definitions. It is what it is, pure and simple. Love is the water of life and a lover is a soul of fire! The universe turns differently when fire loves water.”
― Elif Shafak, The Forty Rules of Love

“Destiny does not mean that your life has been strictly predetermined. Therefore, to leave everything to fate and to not actively contribute to the music of the universe is a sign of sheer ignorance. The music of the universe is all-pervading and it is composed on...different levels. Your destiny is the level where you will play your tune. You might not change your instrument but how well you play is entirely in your hands.”
― Elif Shafak, The Forty Rules of Love
