Top 5 quotes from E.B. White
"Advice to young writers who want to get ahead without annoying delays: don’t write about Man, write about 'a' man."
"Analyzing humor is like dissecting a frog. Few people are interested and the frog dies of it."
"Democracy is the recurrent suspicion that more than half of the people are right more than half the time."
"Liberty is never out of bounds or off limits; it spreads wherever it can capture the imagination of men."
Top 5 quotes from Miscellaneous
"Sex and creativity are often seen by dictators as subversive activities."
"Everything in the world may be endured except continued prosperity."
"Man has almost constant occasion for the help of his brethren, and it is in vain for him to expect it from their benevolence only."
"Every individual...generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention."
"My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint."
