E. B. White
  • English usage is sometimes more than mere taste, judgment and education - sometimes it's sheer luck, like getting across the street.

  • Writing is an act of faith, not a trick of grammar.

  • Be obscure clearly.

  • Everything in life is somewhere else, and you get there in a car.

  • I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority.
