Charlotte's Web and Other Illustrated Classics QUOTES

1 " Winter will pass, the days will lengthen, the ice will melt in the pasture pond. The song sparrow will return and sing, the frogs will awake, the warm wind will blow again. All these sights and sounds and smells will be yours to enjoy, Wilbur—this lovely world, these precious days… "

― E.B. White , Charlotte's Web and Other Illustrated Classics

2 " Did you ever hear of the Queensborough Bridge?'
　　Wilbur shook his head. 'Is it a web?'
　　'Sort of,' replied Charlotte. 'But do you know how long it took men to build it? Eight whole years. My goodness, I would have starved to death waiting that long. I can make a web in a single evening.'
　　'What do people catch in the Queensborough Bridge—bugs?' asked Wilbur.
　　'No,' said Charlotte. 'They don’t catch anything. They just keep trotting back and forth across the bridge thinking there is something better on the other side. If they’d hang head-down at the top of the thing and wait quietly, maybe something good would come along. But no—with men it’s rush, rush, rush, every minute. I’m glad I’m a sedentary spider. "

3 " With the right words, you can change the world. "
