Born 11 July 1899: E. B. (Elwyn Brooks) White, US writer, who was inspired to write
his classic children's story Charlotte's Web while living on a
farm in North Brooklin, Maine. Here are 10 E.B. White quotes.
- I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.
- Genius is more often found in a cracked pot than in a whole one.
- One of the most time-consuming things is to have an enemy.
- Prejudice is a great time saver. You can form opinions without having to get the facts.
- We should all do what, in the long run, gives us joy, even if it is only picking grapes or sorting the laundry.
- People are very gullible. They'll believe anything they see in print.
- Democracy is the recurrent suspicion that more than half of the people are right more than half of the time.
- Hang on to your hat. Hang on to your hope. And wind the clock, for tomorrow is another day.
- You have been my friends. That in itself is a tremendous thing.
- People are, if anything, more touchy about being thought silly than they are about being thought unjust.
