In real life, a family doesn't have a child that looks like a mouse; in real life, a spider doesn't spin words in her web. In real life, a swan doesn't blow a trumpet. But real life is only one kind of life?there is also the life of the imagination.
-E.B. White, New York Times, October 2, 1985

I have always felt that the first duty of a writer was to ascend?to make flights, carrying others along if he could manage it.
-E.B. White, Washington Post, December 4, 1971

... E.B. White is the finest Essayist in the United States. He says wise things gracefully; he is the master of an idiom at once exact and suggestive, distinguished yet familiar. His style is crisp and tender, and incomparably his own.
-Irwin Edman, New York Times, January 17, 1954
