E.B. White and his dog Minnie in Maine
E.B. White, wrote three beloved, classic children’s books: Stuart Little, Charlotte’s Web, and The Trumpet of the Swan. He co-authored another classic book for writers, The Elements of Style, by Strunk and White. I recall one bit of advice — “Avoid Needless Words.”
I can just see the kindness in his face. He contributed to the New Yorker Magazine —probably the source of many of his quotes, including the following two.

“Prejudice is a great time saver. You can form opinions without having to get the facts.”
“One of the most time-consuming things is to have an enemy.”
I love E. B. White! I’ve been thinking about that first quote often these days. It seems fitting for the current political climate.
you are so right! E.B. White says is much while avoiding needless words.
E.B. White is honestly a legend! And those words you just quoted, I am a fan myself!
every time I clear out a spider web, I think of “Charlotte’s Web.’
