Is this an actual Roald Dahl quote?

"Somewhere inside all of us is the power to change the world" - I love the quote and I was told it's from Matilda but it's not in my Kindle version!!

Google says it's from Matilda.

Yeah I know but I can't seem to find it!

I thought it was Matilda too.

Just searched my Kindle version too and it's not there. Strange!

We have the hard copy we're reading each night to DDs at the moment. We're about 1/3 of the way through and haven't come across it yet (although alternate with DH).

I think it might be a strap line / marketing quote for either the book or film rather than being in the book itself

It’s a tagline for the film, according to IMDb

www.imdb.com/title/tt0117008/taglines

Presumably he actually said it at some point then!

Sounds a bit schmaltzy for Roald Dahl to have said...

Yet it's attributed to him - it's on cushions, mugs, framed pictures... etc! It's a mystery!

It's from the film

Maybe just a screenwriter person wrote it then!
